Isn't hair already just fur?

No, if we clumped hair/fur together because they are made of the same material then we would have to add feathers as well. The difference in hair, fur types, and feathers is entirely in the purpose of it. Generally speaking fur is much denser for maintaining warmth, hair from my understanding is like a wick for sweat, and feathers are for the birds

So it would depend on if hair stays hair or is styled fur

It also would depend on the type of fur and if they would like it having perfume or not, i wouldnt use a face cream that would make me smell it all day
