Default WCIF "XMSims hair mesh 39"
So I was downloading a Christina Aguilera sim,

http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=207339

and in the description the creator, bruno, mentioned that in one of the files there is a "platinum blonde and black recolour of XM Sims' hair mesh 39" but the mesh wasn't included in the file. The 'hair mesh 39' part is hyper-linked and takes you to http://www.xmsims.com/sims2/ehtm/hair/hair39.htm which is PAGE 39, not 'hair mesh 39'. I downloaded the meshes of both of the hairs on this page just to be certain. I also looked back through the pages and found a mesh called 'Flora hair 039' on the XMSims website, so I decided to download that (and also two meshes that look strikingly similar to the hair it's supposed to be a remake of called Flora hair 038A & 038B, and I thought "Hey, it's just one number off, maybe the guy made a typo")
So with these 5 meshes in my Downloads folder aswell as the recolor, when I opened my game and went to CAS the hair showed up as Dina Caliente's hair in black. After maybe half an hour of trying to find another 'hair mesh 39' on XMSims, and googling 'XMSims hair mesh 39' frantically, I went ahead and clicked through maybe 40 pages on the XMSims website downloading every mesh I could find vaguely resembling the hair and, you guessed it, nothing. I even deleted and then redownloaded the meshes and recolors to make sure.
I've used XMSims before to download a hair mesh and it's a bit of a complicated site, as 'hair__' links you to the page of that number rather than the actual mesh of that number, if anyone can help me find this mystery 'XMSims hair 39' mesh, I'd be so grateful!

This happens with a lot of old links to XMsims sadly. And unfortunately you've already done what I would advice: buckle up and go through all the hairs looking for a mesh that looks like what you need.
Let's see - the pictures show three different hairstyles. The third is probably the donation-only hair the description mentions, in the comment someone says the 'Marmalade' hair is a creation of Myos, so the XMsims hair has to be the 'back2basic' hair, but as you said, none of the XMsims meshes really look like what you see in the thumbnail, except for the Flora 038A&B ones and you already tested those. The creator also says the XMsims hair is a 'platinum blonde and black recolour' but all the screenshots show platinum blond-only hair, so maybe the recolour isn't shown at all and we don't even know what the hair is supposed to look like! Sigh.
As a last resort, you could open up the package files of a Flora 038B colour and the recolour included with the Aguilera sim and look how similar the textures are. Maybe it's just a broken recolour and you only need to copy and paste stuff.

Sorry for the late reply, I've only just seen these replies to the thread! I opened the files in SimPE and looked at the textures and they are way too different for it to be Hair 038A/B.



I also checked hair 039 to make sure it wasn't that, and it definitely isn't. Is it possible to find out what hair mesh to use with just the texture?

EDIT: I looked at the textures of other XMSims hairs and found that Flora Hair 040A/B look similar to the streaked hair texture.

I'm just a little confused since there's extra hair pieces to bruno's texture + what appears to be a hair clip.

How the textures look depends on how the texture is mapped on the mesh (which part of the texture gets on which part of the 3D-model). It looks like these aren't the right meshes then. :/ I'm afraid I don't recognize the hair clip from any hair, sorry!
