Star Trek Humanoid Hairstyles

Obviously a bowl cut is the most logical choice.

Since when does "ugliness" denote "logic"?

Functional = beautiful.

Humans have diverse hairstyles now; why wouldn't they have them in the 23rd/24th century? Velocity, I agree with your contention that "the uniform hair/hairless styles are used to indicate a single-mindedness of the species," and I don't believe this phenomenon is confined to Trek. Also, IIRC, some women who weren't nobility in TOS had elaborate hairstyles; Doctor Wallace in "The Deadly Years" comes to mind.

I don't remember her hairstyle as being so elaborate; it was basically a type of bun, wasn't it?

T'Pring and T'Pau had the most elaborate hairstyles. I might charitably include Janice Rand, but it really does look like she plopped a basket on her head and decided that was a hairstyle.

Replace "basket" with "beehive" and you'll have it right.

Just vapid and shallow, with no real understanding of Vulcan characters. She wasn't playing a Vulcan. She was playing a ditzy human with pointed ears and a bizarre hairstyle who was pretending to be Vulcan (referring to the actress' portrayal and attitude and not the actual character, obviously).

I wouldn't judge Kim too harshly for her portrayal of Valeris, as I'm sure most of her Human qualities were Nick Meyer's doing. But she did come dangerously close to causing a commotion at Paramount, when she posed - After Hours - on the bridge of the Enterprise wearing nothing but her Vulcan ears and headband, with a lighting guy and photographer. Nimoy found out about this - somehow - and demanded that all of the prints and negatives be destroyed. He wasn't offended by the Artistic nature of it, but ... he suspected that Paramount would become electrified with rage and put an end to the franchise, altogether.

Beehive shaped basket weave... It was the best of both worlds long before 1990!

Don't forget M'Pella. She is Bajoran, but has no nose ridges. Maybe she has human ancestors.....

Memory Alpha says: "M'Pella was played by Terry Farrell's stand-in and body double Cathy DeBuono and (along with Broik) was seen in the background at Quark's in several seasons of Deep Space Nine, but was never given lines or credit until her final appearance in 'The Dogs of War'. She was first named as M'Pella in 'In the Pale Moonlight'. The novel The 34th Rule identified M'Pella as being Bajoran, although she never had Bajoran nose ridges in the series. In Raise the Dawn she is identified as being 'one of the rare Bajorans born with no rhinal ridges'."
