I'm currently stuck on packaging the hair mesh, at the part where it says "... you need to save out your modified CRES and SHPE files" and then it says to insert them into your hair recolor file.

my question is, can anyone elaborate on what it means to "save out your modified CRES and SHPE files" how exactly do you "save" the files out?

Have you done the Unimesh 1 tutorial? Linking the CRES and SHPE is done basically the same for hair as for bodies - the only difference is that you have to identify the right age/gender, but the hair meshing tutorial should tell you how to do that.

I -think- the PJSE tools might be used on the newest Unimesh 1 tutorial which makes it a bit easier, but it's pretty much a matter of exporting those resources from the mesh file, importing them into the recolour, and then linking them in the correct 3DIR.

I'm using the "Hair Meshing with MilkShape and UniMesh" tutorial by Dr Pixel. Though The part I'm on right now is from "Hair: Basics and Beyond Articles" by tiggerypum. I've never had to link the CRES and SHPE files for my body meshes, I don't believe so I'm not familiar with doing so. If it explains it in the tutorial than I must have over looked it which wouldn't be very surprising.

So if I understand you correctly, I just export the CRES and SHPE files from the files that I fixed the integrity on. Open the recolor and import the files into that?

If so I believe I understand, but where do I locate the "Resource Node" and "Shape" that I paste in the 3DIR file?
