So I had a quick question to ask about the White Haired witch archetype...
So let's say you multi-classed and ended up getting another weapon to use- Let's say a Great sword. Could you even do that? And if you could- Would you be able to make a full attack with the Great sword and the hair attack and suffer no attack penalty? Or suffer TWF penalties?

Sure, why not ?
And if you could- Would you be able to make a full attack with the Great sword and the hair attack and suffer no attack penalty?
The WHW's white hair is a natural attack. How do we know this ? The WHW archetype says "This functions as a primary natural attack with a reach of 5 feet."
Review the "Natural Attacks" section of the Universal Monster Rules (found in the Bestiary). An important point it makes is
Creatures with natural attacks and attacks made with weapons can use both as part of a full attack action (although often a creature must forgo one natural attack for each weapon clutched in that limb, be it a claw, tentacle, or slam). Such creatures attack with their weapons normally but treat all of their available natural attacks as secondary attacks during that attack, regardless of the attack’s original type.
A WHW's hair is not using up a limb, so you're ok there. You can attack with both the hair and the greatsword, but doing so causes the hair attack to become secondary, and thus operates at a penalty (-5 to hit).
Or suffer TWF penalties?
You're not TWFing with the WHW's hair attack, so you don't get those penalties.
The White Hair is a natural weapon. You can combine natural weapon and manufactured weapon attacks within the same round. TWF only applies to making an extra manufactured weapon attack (or unarmed strike), so no TWF penalties.
It should function generally like all other natural weapon attacks meaning that when combined with a manufactured weapon, it becomes a secondary natural weapon (it attacks at BAB - 5 and does .5 STR damage - though it'd be .5 INT for the Witch).
