Fleas from a dog can jump onto any part of a person that is close enough for the flea to make the jump, so yes they could jump onto your head where they will find a home in your hair. You will then have a flea infestation in your hair. It is very easy for this to happen. If this happens there are special powders or shampoos to git rid of the fleas.

Will fleas jump off a dog after flea drops are applied?
Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).

Does your dog have to be out for long periods of time to get ticks and fleas?
No, not at all. All it takes is for your dog to walk, sit, lie, or brush against a tick and the tick seizes the opportunity. With fleas, it's even easier because they can jump a long distance to reach your dog. And since fleas detect the dog's body heat from relatively long distances, so just a couple of minutes outside is all it takes.
