I've heard of some people doing this and love it.  I'm not sure what kind of lotions they were using though.  I've never tried it.

As long as the ingredients are good, then it should be ok.  People can use skin products on hair and vice versa... the ingredients are similar and the composition of the hair and the outermost layer of skin are similar.

i posted a topic on this in another forum on here and sum ppl said when they did it it made their hair dry out faster. i have used a small amount of body lotion to tame my fly aways or just to slick back little unrulies. im not sure if the ingredients matter.
