Hairs and other body parts use a formlist to determine what races can use them.  The formlists are usually called things like "HeadPartsHumansAndVampires", or something similar.

 

Look at the hair to see what formlist it references.  Change that formlist if you feel like it is too narrow.  Add the custom race to the formlist that the hair is referencing.  Lots of mods may tamper with these lists (usually adding things, but the lists overwrite each other), so it is best to create a mod of your own that has all relevant races and load it near the end of your load order.  This is easy to do with xEdit since you can just drag and drop the races into your mod at the end.

 

Example of what that might look like:

Okay, so to gain more insight; your saying that i should look for somthing like this: (RNAM - Valid Races) , and then edit that part of the mod to include my custom race? If so, i am having an issue of not being able to add multiple entries to that particular line. it just allows one which is HeadPartsAllRacesMinusBeast. Sorry if im super noob i got the mod from a Patron called Annie Lenine, and he left a instruction on how to apply hair to custom races using this script method in the photo. But i cant get it to work either.

I managed to fix the script following the instruction i posted the picture above. However instead of RNAM - Valid Races 11. Just copy and paste RNAM - Valid Races. and the rest should work fine.
