Oh sure, scalp and skin burns are the obvious hazards of relaxers, but the amount (if any) that could enter pores is negligible at best and I still can't see how that would affect a pregnancy. If you clean your face (which contains pores) with cleansers while you're pregnant are you putting your pregnancy at risk too?
I believe people where protective clothing with chemicals because they will cause harm to the skin. If it didn't they wouldn't have a need to wear them.
