From the new BAB, page 382...
"No evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of hair care products,
such as hair dyes and permanents, has any effect on her breastfeeding
baby. When a mother uses hair care products, some of the chemicals will
be absorbed through her skin. If her scalp is healthy and intact, less
will be absorbed than if her scalp is scratched or abraded."
