Can a witch use with their familiar or improved familiar use their hexes, or some of their hexes? A player told me that any hex can be used their their familiar, and specifically used Prehensile Hair through their goat to coup de grace a creature. It was spoken like this was just a common thing you could do, but I can't seem to find where in the rules it states this.
They can deliver touch attacks for a hex, much like delivering touch spells. Should be in with the description for Deliver Touch Spells in the witch's familiar rules.
Yeah, here's the relevant text:
Quote: Deliver Touch Spells (Su)
If a witch is 3rd level or higher, her familiar can deliver touch spells or hexes for her. If the witch and the familiar are in contact at the time the witch casts a touch spell, she can designate her familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the witch would. As usual, if the witch casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates. If the witch activates a hex, her familiar can be used to make the touch. She does not have to be in contact with the familiar to use this ability.
Contact as in they need to be able to touch one another with reach? Hexes of only range of touch would work? Hair wouldn't work, as well as slumber, right?

Right, must be a touch spell or touch hex notice that it is in the "deliver touch spell" section of the familiar's abilities.

Yeah looking at Prehensile Hair, I don't think that can work through the goat. It's only the witch's own hair, unless there's some feat or something in play that I don't know about.
Something like the healing hex, however, the witch can let the familiar deliver. The witch uses the action for the hex. The familiar does not need to be in contact with the witch, but it will need to make contact with the recipient to do the healing.
Definitely doesn't make any sense to use Prehensile Hair with it. Commonsense, and it's not a touch spell.
I think only the healing hex has a range of touch? You could take the spell hex feat and use it with a touch-based spell.
