Any easy way to identify which hair file makes my game crash?

... at this point I figured 'Hey, maybe it's ME that's screwing things up, not an intrinsically faulty mesh'. The evidence seems to be pointing that way.
Or to put it another way, 'Never attribute to poor coding what can be more easily explained by rampant stupidity'. ;D

There seems to be a lot of double posting these days from infrequent posters, those who are usually lurkers, and (naturally) n00bs. There is a Modify Post button, which allows you to add a comment or modify a previous post. Use of this button is encouraged.
This has been a Senate Public Peasant Service Announcement.

I initially tried 'edit' but when I asked it to save, it reloaded my original post. I assumed I'd missed a time-out period (this happens on an unrelated board where I post a lot - you only have up to 2 minutes to edit a post; after that it just throws you back to your original one) so I quoted instead.
If you reckon 'edit' works long term, then I must have pressed the wrong button or something. I may very well have been working on auto-pilot and hit the wrong button because 'save' isn't in the same place as it is on the other board, perhaps.
Of course, this is probably why I shouldn't post and multi-task. :)
witch:
The edit button is known to be borked. Try the 'modify' button at the top. :)

I had this problem with clothing. First thing I suggest is that if you used WW on any files downloaded directly from TSR (not TSR stuff on PMBD), get rid of those. I know that clothing downloaded directly from TSR and modified in WW will cause the game to crash, so I suspect hair will do the same thing. If you have the original TSR files I would just use them to over write what's in your downloads folder.
Other suggestions for improving on the binary method -- I hope you didn't have to rebin everything, so you can separate out stuff that was changed in WW from stuff that wasn't by sorting by date modified. AFAIK, Bodyshop displays custom content according to the date it was installed (not modified) and Clean Installer will let you sort CC by the date it was installed. When I was looking for the clothing that was causing my game to crash, I would fire up Bodyshop, count how many outfits were displayed before it crashed and then use Clean Installer to figure out which clothing file this corresponded to. Of course, this works better with clothing since you can use WW to sort it into Bodyshop categories (e.g. elder male outerwear) but you may be able to sort hair male/female or something.
EDIT: Coincidentally, I just found one of my clothing files was crashing my game and I discovered a much better way to find the bad files. Scan the folder in SimPE and then sort by the health of the file. In my game, the files causing the problem had red health reports (bad directory info or something like that.) And they were TSR files modified in WW (thought I had gotten rid of all of those.)
