Human Hair products for poodle hair...yay or nay?

For a costume contest, I was thinking of original ideas for my cocker spaniel/ poodle mix and thought of a cute one...except I think it might be harmful.

I was thinking of spiking his hair (he has long poodle type coat) all along his back and then possibly dying it green, so he can be a dinosaur.

but, are human hair products safe?

I was thinking of using gel and green colored hairspray stuff that comes in a can.

I know dogs have sensitive skin so I would like to know before he ends up getting a bad reaction. This will be his first Holloween and I want him to have fun, not be rushed to the vet.

If in the end Im still questioning it, I will just finish the costume that I was making him a while back and he will wear that.

(its a flying monkey costume- a little vest with attached wings, and hat; I will be Elphaba- lol, get it? )

Please, any help would be great!

ps. I dont know if this is relevent but, he is only 11 months old...?

instead of green hairspray, you can use koolaid or food color.

Mix it in with some dog conditioner, apply to the coat, and leave it on for about 10-15 mins then wash away.

Much safer than hairspray.

I know of a friend who used gel in his dog's hair with no problems.. i would do a little test spot on a small part of his skin.. give it at least 72 hours, and see if he has a reaction to it before using it on his entire body.

I think the flying monkey costume sounds cute! If you are good at sewing, you can do a dinosaur one for next year.. make a green pair dof dog jammies, add a "tail" and use some felt to make spikes along the back of the jammies. Report It

If you do anything like that just make sure its temp and/or will be washed out soon. It may cause skin irritation though. I really dont recommend it.

in response to the question bellow hair sheds and grows back so It would not stay like that forever.

I love it! Go ahead and have fun with dressing your dog up for Halloween....I really don't think any human hair products will hurt your dog for this one time. Just make sure you bathe him the next day. Your idea is very cute!! How fun!

not a good idea, cockers are prone to skin irritation. plus.. its human products for a reason. anddd do you really want to live with a green dog if you cant get the dye out? trust me.. the spray doesnt come out for like a week..if it comes out at all.

oh and PS: hes too you.. like he could develop breathing problems from the fumes since his lungs are still growing.

Nay. If you find yourself questioning it and doubting then trust your instincts. The human hair products could irritate your poodles skin. If you want to be safe, the commonsense way would be dressing her up in the clothes..

ya the hair spray is ok like the spray glitter we did that once and the dog was fine. i have also seen people put purple hair spray on the dog. just make sure you give the dog a bath after.
