They actually addressed this in Enterprise before. I believe there was a whole arc about it. The Klingons stole the eugenics technology from the humans and tried to synthesize it for Klingons. Instead it altered their genetics and eliminated the ridges on their heads for a couple generations.
I think Warf also mentions it in passing during that DS9 episode when they go back in time to the original Enterprise. Well by "mention" I mean he says "I don't want to talk about it".
