> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > I’ve read that same information in a number of sources over the years. Roddenberry was pushing for unusual hairstyles, but the male actors pushed back, noting that they had to live normal lives outside of the studio, and didn’t want to have to deal with crazy hair. Thus, the pointed sideburns were a compromise. James Doohan had an unappealing hair style in the third season as I recall. ---

Wigs were pretty popular in the 60s, especially beehives, so yeah, viewers might’ve just assumed it was a wig. ---
