Hi,
Yes it can, but not in the form its in. During World War 2 when people were burned in concentration camps, their ashes, both hair ashes and body ashes were sometimes used as fertilizer. So technically yes, if you turn it to ash. It wont work if you just drop hair on soil.
Hope that answers your question.

I don't think so because they both have different components although both are organic compounds.
