I don't think cool whip will leave her hair smelly, but every time I've used coolwhip its always been mixed with other messes, so who knows.... as for slime, cake batter or brownie batter has always been the best, just add water to the powder until its where you want it. I would also use hot water so its warm when you dump it, might help her enjoy it a little more. Have fun!
Cool whip will not make the hair smell bad at all. Plus one of my models told me that after being destroyed with the cool whip pies it made her hair feel nice the next couple of days.
Stay far away from spray whip cream, that will make hair stink bad. Plus clothes that it gets on and you will never be able to get the stench, which smells like vomit, out of them. The hair will stink like that too for a week no matter how much you wash it . Trust me on this. For this reason I refuse to use spray whip cream in any of my shoots, same with eggs, they also make hair stink and won't come out of clothing if they sit too long on them.
Cool whip with food coloring and cake batter it is, then. One more question: if I buy the generic brand of whipped topping, that shouldn't smell either, right? Or should I stick with brand name to be on the safe side?

I splurged and bought name brand once. While there was no issue with smell, the name brand cool whip did not stick at all. Store brands seem to have a better quality splat and stick. Just my two cents...

Someone here -- and my apologies for forgetting who it was -- suggested mixing a tub of cool whip with a tub of frosting for the ideal effect, stickiness- and consistency-wise. I tried this recently and it worked wonderfully. It's a bit labor-intensive, and adds to the cost, but is worth the effort.

I believe that suggestion belongs to simp99: https://umd.net/forums/pie_recipe_challenge His pie recipe, which is seen in his pics, as well as those of I believe Bigshipper and Infi, is dark sorcery (I'd really love to see more people with an understanding of food science around these forums to be honest - pretty much everything we know about these kinds of colloidal systems is based on taste and mouthfeel for eating rather than texture and aesthetic for WAM applications) and I pretty much abide by it whenever I've the occasion to mess someone up. It's work, but if you're throwing pies at the woman you love on your birthday you'd best be going all-fucking-in.
As far as OP's original question: do what you can to avoid things like Redi-Whip and store-brand derivatives, as well as milk and eggs, obviously - as far as milk products go, you probably don't have to be heavily wary about it if it can sit on a shelf without refrigeration. Hence, those previously-mentioned pudding snack packs are fair game. This isn't catch-all, of course; though there's plenty better things to use for WAM, the super-sugary yogurt products such as Yoplait are probably fine, and I've seen a couple of pretty good shoots using sour cream, which has a surprisingly nice look to it.
You can look anywhere and see that you can make a good mess with things that'll wash out easily - pretty much anything high in sugar (Cool Whip is pretty much just sugar and air), or cake mixes that have a level of solubility to them will come right out with warm water, and shampoo will take care of her hair (soap, obviously, will wash out excess fats and oils). I've used both name brand and generic non-dairy whipped toppings, and they've been about the same (the generic melts a little more quickly and doesn't taste quite as good in my opinion) - so your mileage may vary there. Whatever the case, happy birthday to you OP, make sure you make a mess you're both satisfied with, and for the love of God make sure you get in that shower with her.
