What chemicals are you talking about specifically?  [/quote]

Think about. Why can't pregnant women color their hair? Because it's toxic. Sure, a child is less vulnerable than a fetus but still.

Here's a clip about how it can affect endocrine system in kids:
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous agents that interact with estrogen receptors or estrogen signaling pathways, disrupting the physiological function of the endocrine system and the development of the mammary tissue. This heterogeneous group of chemicals includes parabens, bisphenols, and phthalates, widely used substances in cosmetic and personal care products, and are present in hair dyes.127,128 EDCs can be transported from the bloodstream to breast milk via passive diffusion and are then ingested by infants through breast-feeding. The hormone levels in the infants can be affected, and the growth of their germ cells can be disrupted.129 Exposure to hair dyes containing EDCs in childhood may increase breast cancer risk, by lowering the age at menarche but most likely without affecting breast density.130 Indeed, a study by Llanos et al.131 demonstrated that the use of hair dyes containing EDCs is correlated with an elevated risk of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Adolescent use of hair dyes containing EDCs may increase the risk of premenopausal breast cancer.1
