It is very possible to have relaxed hair and it be healthy, and it is very possible to have natural hair and it be unhealthy. Truth be told the process of applying a relaxer correctly is VERY technical, contrary to the belief that it is just the opposite, which in turn results in hair breakage, dry brittle hair, scalp damage, and fallage.

As a rule any permanent processes done to girls under the age of 8 should be avoided, because of the fact that in most cases the hair strand does'nt reach maturity until right before puberty. Chemical applications if not done strategically can alter the structure of a young girl's hair permanently, and alot of times not for the good.
