You really shouldn't wash your hair or wet it at all 3-4 days before getting a relaxer.
But in general air drying should be fine as long as you can get a comb through it, I personally blow dry my hair on my last wash before getting relaxed just so the relaxer can be worked through.

Ditto, I airdried once and tried to relax and it was a nightmare, because it was very hard to comb. But if your hair is still "comb-able" then you should be fine.

I learned the hard way that I need to straighten before a relaxer. But if you can easily comb and part, then airdrying is def. the healthier choice.
