/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another.
Janeway commands, and her hair obeys.
She's basically wearing a Gibson girl hairstyle. The pompadour is held up with a ring of something like foam or a hair rat, which is hair in a sort of netted tube sock thing. The rest is just swirled and tucked with extra hair pieces for fullness.
Behind the scenes her hair was a major problem. The original Janeway actress left after 3 days of shooting and Mulgrew was brought in to replace her.
Mulgrew's hair was so fine the cameras had trouble picking it up. They actually shut down shooting of the pilot to figure out how to do her hair.
Eventually they just had her in a wig or a half fall depending on the scene. Though I think that was like season 2 for the wigs.
Just today I watched Seven get blown across the room & her hair didn't move a bit - I think all that 90s retro-futuristic hairdos functioned as helmets.
Not just the retro-futuristic ones. There was a channel one reporter that was on location during one of the major hurricanes of 93-94. The anchor had to break in to his report because you could see random debris, like bushes and trees, blowing past in the background. The reporter's rain parka was whipping all over the place. The reporter himself was having issues standing still, but his hair was ROCK SOLID and not moving at all. The anchor asked what gel he was using. DEP was the answer.
Well that's easily explained, you see, by the Borg... hair... nanobots?
Makes sense to me. The Borg love perfection, so, naturally, they would want perfect hair.
Borg queen doesn't like hair.
Which is also fine.
Don't forget strong and long.
Similar to her Charlie's Angels do.
Oh she was in those!
I always found her somewhat sexy and now I think I know why, because when I was going through puberty, I used to occasionally like watching Charlie's Angels.
She wasn't, but rather her hair in s2e12 "Resistance" was very similar in style.
Oh.
Well. Guess she just has that je ne sais quo.
Except with some sort of weird 24th century hair gel that keeps it up for a few inches and then allows you to have long tresses in the back.
Seriously, how did they do that?
Hair mousse, light non-matte pomade?
I honestly don't know any better, I've just been looking into that sort of thing. Pomade has got me the best results so far but I'm horrible at hair and the pomade is a bit too thick. A more of a cream type next time, I think.
Gratuitous application of CFCs
You can kind of see a tuck on the side. My guess is that they still have some sort of structure like a foam piece under the top/front and then it’s pinned in such a way underneath to prevent it from showing, but not in such a way that would prevent the hair on top from free falling. I’m far from an expert though; my only experience is from having my own hair done for weddings and they added foam or mesh pieces in there to fake the shape they wanted.
Hair spray
Also if I recall wasn't their one episode or blooper where her hair malfunctions
Reminds me of Captain Burnham's hair from this last season of Discovery. No matter what she's doing those braids are tight and her edges are sharp. They must have some crazy styling products in the future. Programmable matter hair gel or something.
That’s what transporters are for. If you’re going to die and a replica who thinks it’s you is going to appear someplace else there’s no reason it shouldn’t be styling some great hair.
We don't call it the "bun of steel" for nothing.
Not to be mistaken with 'buns of actual steel' (or at least containing steel parts) ...
Bun of steel = Janeway
Buns of Steel = VHS workout tape
Buns of actual steel = Bender Bending Rodríguez
Well, 40% steel anyway.
40% a lot of things
