Klingon change for season 2?

I guess it's canon that Klingon hair grows super fast too. Hasn't it only been a few weeks since the end of the war?

Personally not a fan of them throwing in a line trying to explain it, but whatever. Hopefully that's it and we all just move on now.
The Hair Club for Klingons do good work.
 
I blame collagen implants. Stupid Klingon plastic surgeons. You were supposed to restore cranial ridges, guys. You had one job.
 
Mary Chieffo said in The Ready Room that they still put on the full season 1 "cowl" and then on top of that a separate wig that is sewn on to keep it in place. So the big head is supposedly still there under all that hair.
 
Clearly Tyler has opened a craft brewpub on Qo'noS.

You joke, but that is exactly what Emperor Georgiou did.

How did T'Kuvma... And all the other houses that were called in, feign their peaceful stance, and their shock at being drawn into an unwanted war with the evil Federation IF THE KLINGONS HAD ALREADY CUT THEIR HAIR BEFORE THE FIRST SHOT WAS FIRED?

They were all at war with each other. I guess you could hand-wave it away as everyone already had shaved heads because there was a civil war going on

That's an odd claim. We can see the new sculpt with our own eyes. And not just the facial appliance, the ears have changed too.

The war excuse doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. Every single Klingon in season one is bald, including flashbacks and alternate universes.

It's called bad writing and a clumsy in-series retcon. Bryan Fuller's idea wasn't very good and now the producers are attempting damage control.

This. Just let them handwave it away and let us never speak of hairless Klingons again.

Just like how we don't need to speak of how Worf's head seemed to completely change between seasons of TNG.

Probably so. Given that T'Kumva's idea was to unite the Great Houses behind him.

No thanks. I like the bald and hairless Klingons. I will keep them.

Can't really tell, but okay. I guess that answers that question. Time to move on.

Not sure about that myself, but that's what she said. I suppose by cowl she meant the back piece that does not include the forehead and face pieces.

Regarding Klingon make up changes, I have found a new favorite site and this quote, from GR himself (appeal to authority yaddy yaddy yadda):

When the Klingons were totally redesigned for the opening sequence of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979, Roddenberry told the magazine Cinefantastique, that “Just as there are different races of humans, there are different races of Klingons, and the Klingons seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture are not the same race as the ones we saw on the original series.”

It's all rather amusing to me :)

All well and good, I'm fine with that...except it doesn't really work for when it's the same character/s, eh? ;)

Not sure about that myself, but that's what she said.
I just watched it now, and as Nerys Myk mentioned, she doesn't say that it's a season 1 cowl. She just says that she still wears a cowl under the hair.
