> [@BigT](#): > > That’s debatable, as the only scene where this was established was cut. It also doesn’t help because Romulans in those centuries also had the shorter hair. It just adds in that female Romulan Commander (unnamed in canon) to the mix. > > What does allow me to fanwank it is that she was apparently studying Human responses, trying to understand them. That might allow her to adopt Human hair standards. Well, also, her hairstyles were limited by Starfleet regulation.

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > \*The Motion Picture \*ignored the quote above and designed new uniforms that looked _exactly_ like long underwear. More like pajamas, I’d say. The ultimate in shirtsleeve-environment garb. Worst of all were the marching band uniforms in the subsequent movies. Yeccch! :mad: ---

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > For instance, I recall Deela from “Wink of an Eye” having a beehiveesque bun in her long hair. We see her combing it in Kirk’s quarters … While Kirk was pulling on his boots. I thought of Deela for this thread. The bun is a little odd, but I don’t think her hair would look absurdly out-of-place then, or now. ---

Thanks to this thread, I’m now picturing the TOS crew with Hunger Games District 1 like hairdos. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/janice-rands-hair/814009.md?page=3)
