many people have difficulty assimilating an entirely raw diet. there are no indigenous cultures that are either exclusively raw or vegetarian. raw food-ism is more of a modern trend. I am a doctor of Chinese medicine and I treat people occasionally who eat exclusively raw food -- many are among the most emaciated and malnourished people I have encountered, yet they think they are doing a healthy thing. In the summer, I agree that many folks can handle more raw food, since there is more ambient heat and much produce is in season. During the rest of the year, most of your vegetables should be lightly steamed at least.
Beyond this, there are several nutrients that are vital for healthy hair. Two of the main ones are the minerals sulfur and silica. You can get sulfur by taking MSM - methylsulfonylmethane. I recommend 1000 mg per 50 pounds of body weight, twice a day. Taking it in powdered form is cheaper and easier when you are using large doses. It is quite safe. Silica can be found in certain herbs, such as horsetail (equisetum), but you can also find multi-mineral supplements that have silica in them. A multi-mineral supplement in general would be a good idea for you.
Finally, low stomach acid is a major impediment to absorption of food, particularly minerals, and this gets increasingly prevalent as we age. Since we're on the apple cider vinegar page, this is something you might try taking at the beginning of meals to enhance absorption. I usually just give my patients Betaine HCl. (hydrochloric acid)
