The real truth about hair dyes and hair relaxers....

I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and in desperate need of relaxing and dying my hair however I first want to make sure it's safe to use hair relaxers and hair dyes during pregnancy.

Is it also safe to use nail polish and nail polish removers? I read in a book that it was probably ok to dye and relax the hair after the first trimester cause those chemicals used in the hair dye and relaxer products are not absorbed through the skin and since the baby is fully developed the chances of birth defects occuring at that stage in pregnancy are very slim. Is this true? I just want to make sure before I actually go ahead and relax and dye my hair....
