I have a vague memory of the first leutenant Saavik from a trek film having longer hair but i can't remember which film it was. I have ears but need some spirit gum to stick them on with, also im trying to figure out how get my eyebrows in the right shape without shaving half of them off!!!

They had longer than shoulder-length curly hair. Here are two of many. She even has little earrings! Last edited by a moderator: Oct 27, Joined: Sep 24, Location: Scotland. StolenThunder , Oct 27, Joined: Mar 8, TNG : " Data's Day ".

When Worf visited the same barbershop two years later , Mot asked him about a new haircut or a beard trim. TNG : " Schisms ". When Odo assumed the shape of a humanoid , he imitated Doctor Mora Pol 's hairstyle. When Tom Paris was a child he wore a cap to cover his haircut he got from his father on the first day of every summer. VOY : " Faces ". Torres replied that it was a combination of a sonic shower and a little engine grease. VOY : " Human Error ". Worf experienced jak'tahla and told Picard that accelerated hair growth was normal during this time.

In the reboot movie "Star Trek " all Romulans that we see are part of Nero's crew and are originally from the 24th century. Their bald heads and tattoos are just as uncommon. This look is explained in the non-canon comic Countdown as a mourning ritual. The real-world reason is that the revised make-up which also includes nose appliances was simply deemed to look better on Nero's crew.

Two Narada crew members are unusual. One of the two guards defending the drilling platform the one who fights against Sulu and gets grilled is played by a black actor, and the communications officer is the only female crew member we know of, and also the only one who kept her hair. Star Trek Picard shows an almost equal number of Romulans with flat and with V-shaped foreheads.

Like Elnor, "Narissa Rizzo" and her brother Narek both have flat foreheads, whereas their aunt Ramdha is another "Northener". We can see Romulans played by black or Asian actors, or with blond or light brown hair. Some Romulans, such as Narissa, have tiny ridges on the side of their ears, which was previously not part of the Romulan ear make-up.

Both Zhaban and Laris also show these small ridges or dots on their ears. Star Trek Picard does not only feature many Romulan make-up variations, but also shows a wide variety of clothing and uniform styles. We can see Romulan soldiers with uniforms similar to the ones used in the TNG era.

Some also still have the typical bowl haircut, which otherwise seems to be out of fashion in the post-Nemesis era. Dignitaries can be seen with checkered clothes similar to the ones known from "Nemesis" and Enterprise. Considering the long history of this species in the franchise, the Romulan make-up is overall unusually consistent. It has undergone just one change in over 40 years or two, if we count in the reversal in "Star Trek " , and not a dramatic one.

Unlike it was the case with the ultimate solution to the Klingon Forehead Problem in ENT: "Divergence", we would have been able to ignore the discontinuity if it had not been explicitly addressed in Star Trek Picard.

Anyway, the retcon in Picard is welcome, as it complies with the principle of visual continuity. A possible rationale for the change relative to Vulcans is that the Romulans, during their long exodus , merged with other species. This could be the reason why they essentially still look like Vulcans but their physiology is slightly different. It could explain why some Romulans have pronounced forehead bones and others looks exactly as Vulcans.

But it would not be plausible at all why all TOS Romulans perhaps with the exception of some helmeted crew members are of the latter group, and all 24th century Romulans without any exception of the former. Much less could it explain the new old look of Nero's crew, unless they all had their foreheads surgically smoothed. Some episode information comes from Memory Alpha.
