One of the main reasons to select a generic "alien" as your main character or as a bridge officer is that you have more options to make the character look like whatever you want it to look like.
These customizable "Aliens" don't get the cool species-specific traits that come with selecting a single predefined species, but the idea is that you get to make the alien whatever you want it to be.
That's the idea ... but it doesn't work that way in reality.
The devs currently have various hairstyles restricted to specific predefined species (I noticed there is at least one or more hairstyles for the new Krenim bridge officers that are only available for the Krenim officers, there are Romulan hairstyles only available to Romulans, etc., etc.
I can sort of understand the logic of restricting certain hairstyles on predefined species (i.e., humans can't have Romulan hairstyles and Romulans can't have Klingon hairstyles) but the generic "alien" race should have access to EVERY hairstyle because total customization is the main reason players pick the generic alien race.
Please, if a dev is reading this, let us customize our generic aliens as much as possible. There's no goo reason to restrict ANY hairstyle from the generic/customizable alien characters.
