I have a ton of hairs...some I dont want, some I dont need, or some that looked really cute but are messed up. I think its time to declutter some of them but I have NO idea what half of them are called...any ideas on what I can do?

If they're sims3packs stick them in your downloads folder so you can see them in the launcher then uninstall the ones you don't want. This will not erase them from your folder but it will make them not show up ingame. The other option is download UIC to see the pics inside of the S3P.
If you can't find those tools I'll post a link later when I get on my puter.

I've never saw been able to get S3P but most of the bad ones are packages.

Download and install S3PE, then click on the package file. It will open up the window pictured below. Click on the thumb image and you will see an image of the hair.
Tried to add a pic but Photobucket is not cooperative at the moment.

Okay, seriously, I keep pictures and the original archive files on my back-up drive. I download the file first, then save the image and if the image and file names don't already match I copy and paste the file name from the archive and use it for the picture.
When I find something in my game that I want removed but can't find the file I go to where the back-ups are stored and find the picture and match it to the file name. Sometimes file names aren't the same as their archive names so in that case I open the archive to find out what the file name is. The important thing is I have a clear path to tracking down whatever it is within a couple of minutes.
I do the same, except even more OCD. I rename my package files by creator then category then name of the item, then rename the pic to match. If you do that from the beginning it sure saves a lot of headaches later on.

I used to do (and kept a copy of the images in the folder with whatever it was) that then I would run into problems occasionally where I would end up with duplicate files with different names. I had the most massive organizational structures for Sim and Sims 2 but eventually I realized I spent more time maintaining my CC than I did playing my game then when I started playing TS3 decided I didn't need nearly as much CC because of CASt anyway so went with a simpler system that still works well but doesn't take nearly as much maintenance time.
Me too, but some people misused it.
