Why wouldn't it? I mean, sure, hair doesn't grow at the same speed for all species, but I see no reason to imagine it would grow considerably slower, particularly since we all seem agreed that quarian metabolisms run at about the same speed as those of humans. If their hair did grow significantly slower, one would have to wonder - what's the point of having it at all?

I actually figured that was what you were getting at. My reasoning is kinda meta-. For one thing, that would be a detail the game would probably have let us know about.Collider wrote...
I should have been more clear. I meant natural facial markings, from biology it self. I think it would be quite beautiful conceptually speaking that each Quarian has unique patterns on their face. This has special significance - Tali is the only one she loves enough to show her face to. He's the only one who will see her face, unique as it is.

Natural. Just as there are natural patterns on butterflies, for instance.Nivenus wrote...
What kind of body markings are we talking? Turian-esque face paint? Or something a bit different, like ritual scarring?
Or maybe I'm misinterpreting this and you meant natural body markings.
I hesitate to take that concept art as proof of anything. Since it gets her feet wrong.Collider wrote...
On the subject of hair, Tali appears to have eyebrows if you look closely at her face mask, and Tali's concept art has her with eyebrows, as well as grey skin. Though that may be just because it's concept.

Really? We're never told in-game what Quarian faces look like. You can tell they have eyes and a nose, and you can tell they have lips from the kissing sounds in Tali's romance. That's all, really. Ascension gave us a few more details.NuclearBuddha wrote...

The art book clearly stated the face in the drawing was just a placeholder.Collider wrote...

See, that's what I think. And if those are eyebrows, then why would there not be hair?
It's like a 'where there's smoke, there's fire' kinda thing, I feel.
Right, we weren't told about such an important feature in the game or in Ascension. That's my point.Collider wrote...

I know, it's not proof, in that it does not prove it. Just hinting towards it. If I had to say either way, however, I'd say Quarians have hair or at least eyebrows based upon what I've seen.NuclearBuddha wrote...

I'm still not very comfortable with the idea of quarians having hair. It just doesn't seem right to me.

I hate when people try to point to the romance scene as evidence... for all you know it was sounds made from Shep kissing her skin... Hardly conclusive, not that I disagree, just silly to list as proof.
Well quarians obviously kiss...Jake71887 wrote...

Someone else in the galaxy has to have hair, damnit! (No, Batarians don't count).
Hair just plain makes sense for a humanoid creature.
See, a head needs heat. Heat gets generated primarily by skeletal muscle. The head doesn't have much muscle, so it has to have heat transferred to it via blood.
Now, without some kind of insulation on one's head, there is massive amount of heat loss from the head--it's inefficient and a waste of energy. It's why wearing a hat is one one of the best things you can do in cold weather--otherwise you lose a lot of body heat.
In other words, not having hair is a pretty big biological disadvantage. Then again, no one else seems to have hair in the galaxy...

Mmm, sucking on Tali's chin maybe....kinky.
Like I said to nuclearbuddha, I just think it appears that they do, not that I believe they do.Azint wrote...

Also; eyebrows and eyelashes do not apply as hair. Really.
Asari don't have hair and they are the closest to humans as any other race.sergio71785 wrote...
