This hairstyle suited Mulgrew/Janeway well though!

But when I think back that production spent an exorbitant amount of $* just on her hair during the first 3 ²/4 years to finally adopt a short cut ..., which was how she wore her hair right the beginning instead of using the money to improved special effects and / or the extension of guest stars/actors hired for secondary roles.
* I read that Winrich Kolbe, who was a perfectionist in his director's role, has requested that scenes of Janeway's 19th century holoprogram were reworked = more working time for the staff) & reshooted, because he thought that the play of light and tableware didn't give him satisfaction. Without forgetting of course, the pilot, The Caretaker, which was known as the most expensive of all Star Trek pilots, because of the changing of the lead actress and Kate's hair, whose the hairstyle wasn't judged enough sexy. Result: still money down the drain! At least with Patrick Stewart/Jean-Luc Picard, producers didn't get such problems.
