This week, Mike, Lanita, and Damian take a closer look at the hair of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 — from Pike's gravity-defying pompadour to Chapel's sleek style and Una's impeccable updo. Joining the crew is stylist and Trek fan Anna Rozay, who helps unpack how the show's hairstyles reflect personality, rank, and the evolving aesthetic of the Enterprise. ✨ It's science fiction, style, and Starfleet swagger — all in one episode! https://www.instagram.com/anna_rozay  Support us at https://ko-fi.com/hailingfreqopen
