i seem to recall in First Contact Troi mentioning something about how they weren't supposd to care about things like physical appearance too much in their time, given that it's largely superficial or something like that. When she and crusher were sitting on that planet with the odd elements in the atmosphere that retarded aging.neoolong wrote:It's suprising that by the 24th century they don't have a better form of Rogaine. I guess they aren't all that advanced.Enola Straight wrote:In that truly horrible TNG ep where a transporter malfunction converts Picard and Co. into children...
Picard is in his quarters, facing the mirror, and gleefully running his fingers through his hair.
Later on, after the technobabble solution is found, the Captain sighs, resigning himself to his restored bald head.
So its entirely possible that people in the trek universe in the 24th century simply aren't as obsessed with personal appearance as they are in the 20th. At least those in the Federation anyways.
