May 22, 2014 at 14:42 comment added Jaydee I'm just passing on the reason given by the costume designer. See my comment above.
May 22, 2014 at 14:41 comment added Xantec That reason is sort of thrown out in Generations though, as she is seen without her hat in her quarters, with her deadlocks on full display.
May 22, 2014 at 14:23 comment added Jaydee Here is a link to Memory Alpha, where this is given as a reason by the Costume designer en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Durinda_Rice_Wood
May 22, 2014 at 14:19 comment added Jaydee I should have mentioned that this is given as a reason in one of the special features on the TNG DVD's (or it could be one of the movies).
May 22, 2014 at 14:09 comment added Brian S Considering her dreadlocks are clearly visible at the back of her neck in all appearances as Guinan (save for the Time's Arrow two-parter), I doubt that's the reasoning.
