Kira’s hairstyles throughout Deep Space Nine, rated

All screengrabs from Trekcore, all opinions from me.

ALT

As seen in season 1, episode 1: The Emissary.

A poor start with what I think might be the worst haircut on the list? Nana Visitor is all of 36 years old in this photo and she has the haircut of a granny. It also makes her face look very square, which it is not. 0/10.

ALT

As seen in season 2, episode 2: The Circle.

This is the first of the definitive Kira hairstyles and it definitely gets points for that, and many more for its butch energy. This is practical, this is kickass, this is a woman who can fight off a Cardassian invasion then put up some shelves without breaking a sweat. 7/10.

Also as seen in season 2, episode 2: The Circle.

I know this is basic of me but I really love the pixie cut. And I love the way that Kira is relaxing in a monastery at this point, in beautiful surroundings, and her whole look from her hair to her clothes has softened in response. 10/10.

As seen in season 2, episode 8: Necessary Evil.

I’m so conflicted about this one. On the one hand, I really like how it’s been styled, especially in comparison to Dax’s version of the same hairstyle, which looks uncomfortably stiff. On the other hand, Kira with long hair just doesn’t seem right. 5/10.

ALT

As seen in season 3, episode 15: Destiny.

Another definitive Kira hairstyle, and probably the one that’s most overtly masculine; this is a classic 1950s man’s hairstyle, though somehow the overall effect is more femme than the brushed-back version. Mostly this is a hairstyle that doesn’t take attention away from her face. 8/10.

ALT

As seen in season 4, episode 4: Indiscretion.

I’m not sure this is Kira’s most flattering haircut, but I like the way that as she gradually becomes less angry and abrasive, and I suppose starts to work through some of her trauma from the Occupation, her hairstyles also become softer to match. 7/10 for character development.

ALT

As seen in season 7, episode 4: Take Me Out to the Holosuite.

This is my FAVOURITE of the longer-term Kira haircuts. Not just because it’s pretty, but because the asymmetrical shape means that the whole effect is to draw your attention to her Bajoran earring. Her confidence and her pride shine through. 9/10.

ALT

As seen in season 7, episode 25: What You Leave Behind.

A serious hairstyle for a serious time. We’ve lost the fun full asymmetry of season 6 and early season 7 (which were also quite serious times, but never mind that). This is a surprisingly shapeless hairstyle for Kira. 4/10.

Because I was sad to end on a disappointing hairstyle, here’s a bonus Nana Visitor:

This is the very cool hairstyle Kira went for post-canon, and you can’t persuade me otherwise.

We owe so much to Nana Visitor being adamant that Kira should have a simple hairstyle, because she thought Kira wouldn’t want to spend time fixing it. Which is very true for the character.

Oh fuck I hope this scary hallway has bitches

I just want to open up and talk and remember…

My head.

“You want to cum after I just put all my energy into fucking you for a whole 15 minutes? Well I’m not in the mood anymore so you can just masturbate and I’ll lay here and pretend like I’m paying attention to you and pretend like I want you. ”

…

Instead I roll over and curl up in a ball with my sex toy in one hand and trying to hold my tears in with the other. I wait about 5 minutes before going to the bathroom to pee so I don’t get a UTI and because our baby likes to kick my bladder about this time every night. I come back to bed and find that the light are out. I make my way around you and lie down. I keep my mouth shut so I don’t accidentally say what I’m thinking or feeling again but it’s hard when in my head I’m screaming “WHY AM I NOT ENOUGH! YOU MADE ME FEEL SO UNWANTED AND INSECURE!”. You start to rube my back but fall asleep within 5 minutes, which I think I’m okay with because I know you gesture of kindness is only so I keep my mouth shut.

You made me feel insecure.

When I have nothing distracting me i think about killing myself.
