Not shallow cause it bothers me too. (And I'm not shallow! Really...)
We do get our 'explanation' with her bad hair day coming up, but here's a sciencey one if you like. The changeover from Minbari to partly/mostly human must have had her immune and hormonal system on overload as everything settled into place. Estrogen especially has an affect on hair; amount, consistency, and composition. I like to think that it was fluctuations in hormone level that caused the change in her hair from one episode to the next, with them finally settling down later in S2 and especially by S3. What bothers me more is how we went from that almost-like-carved-bone look of her crest in S1 to the playdough-stuck-to-her head look in S2. That settles out later as well and I can go into estrogen and other hormones' relationship to bone morphogenic protein...but then again, maybe not. :)
