This is hilarious. Also, did they just have half the cast in wigs?
This is often done for consistency. Especially (although I have to admit that does not apply to TOS) when also heavy makeup or prosthetics are applied.
In the 90s series too, especially the women.
In Voyager, every main cast member is wigged to some extent, even if just false sideburns. Except apparently the Doctor who grew his own pointy sideburns and was clearly not bewigged on top.
Robert Picardo talked about this on I think a podcast I listened to several years ago, so sadly I can’t link to the source as I don’t recall where it was.
Shatner definitely has them all
Nobody ever pays me in wigs
As you can see, they never will. You must seize the wig.
This is incredible
I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!
Ah, back in the days before email

Shatner is bald
