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
