Good Gawd...

Yeah, Peggy and Raon are the biggest culprits for that. Well, Sunair too....but generally half of the hairs she does in a set are oddball colors, so I partially forgive her. I did a big binning project awhile ago. I binned, then I cleaned. Assbackwards? Yes. But I have a lot of custom hair, and paging through the custom bin was a nightmare.
Keep forgetting to keep it up, and one of my sims uses brown hair that's in the custom bin. Every time she transitions her cute little pigtails change to dreads.

That's the best way to do it! Binning hair isn't hard, but it's an effort to go through. So if you're in the middle of binning a hair, you're more likely to realise you hate it and never use it because you don't want to bin it. Or when you go back into the game or bodyshop and you see that particular brown hair next to the others, you realise it's low quality or something.
What's really annoyed me though is that, after my huge hair clearout, I've noticed I'd kept some hairs that had actual meshes and textures for teen/child/toddler, but didn't check that those didn't have gaps and stuff. :(

I never even bother to check if hair I download is binned. I just re-bin it to make sure it's done right. I'm very picky.
I really need to do that. I binned almost all of my un-binned male hair, but some of the already binned stuff is shoddily done. I waffle on how important family data is, but on the other hand, even hair that comes binned is sometimes binned WRONG.

I've occationally whined about how XMsims bin a lot of hair that I consider blond into the brown bin, but last time I checked, she'd put the fairest of the "brown" shades in the blond category. Flora is one of the few creators out there who is really adapting and learning. And of course; it's free.

Oh, goodness, yes, XM not only gets very high marks for improvement, but there's really nothing to complain about anymore. Mesh quality has improved, she makes more natural colors, everything is not only binned, but as far as I can tell it's listed according to what bin it's placed in, and I seem to recall some of them are animated nicely now too. (Or maybe it's somebody else who learned to do that well.) When there's a new XM hair I like, I know exactly which 4 shades to download to get a set of hair that will fit into my game. (I still download recolors, because sometimes somebody else does a job I like better, but they're no longer a requirement.)
