Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Chemical hair straightening is likely to make use of chemicals externally. In that case there should be no problems in breastfeeding your child and you can give it safely.

Let me know if I could help further.
