Can you imagine how much planning and organizing this took to be able to know when she could cut her hair as needed over 500 years and which parts she needed longer and the in between? Then putting it all together, and editing.. that's insanely dedicated and amazing. I've never seen a video like this.

[@maniic_idiot4398]

I have a weird take away from this video, the way you didn't mention the mod movement in the sixties being almost the first androgynous style. I feel like it was an important moment in the History of fashion and find it really weird the focus was on longer hair cuts, it's not like they were just more popular because the mod movement genuinely thrived through all the 60s,70s and eighties and then to make an amazing strong style comeback in the 90s due to British bands like blur

[@kathleenwoodbury7491]

I have watched this video so many times over the last year since it came out, just marvelling over the planning and editing that went into getting this chronologically correct. But also can I just say how much you absolutely nailed these, because as soon as 1970s you came on the screen I was immediately reminded of my mother, who was born in the late 50s, a teen in the 70s, and wore that feathered front style all the way through my childhood til at least the mid 2000s. IIRC she literally only stopped doing it when her hot roller set died 😂 Also as soon as 1990s you came on I was like "hey, Monica Lewinsky!" Amazing how these things get burned into our memory, especially when we're kids. Anyway! Still loving this video and I think it should be used for reference for decades to come ❤

I had long hair, not as long as her but pretty long, and cut it down to a pixie mostly in order to donate the hair. It was SO MUCH FUN! My hairdresser was so happy to get to do this with me and we just had so much fun. And the weight difference and easy showers were great too!

[@michellehefton8816]

I'm not even eight minutes in yet and I was just stunned that she really cut off the sections on the sides of her head for the 1630s look!!

Even the buzz cut. Morgan, may you enjoy the freedom of the lack of hair, and if you decide to grow it back out, try not feel too crazy hating it in the interim as I always do.

From someone who lost her locks last year, due to chemo but is now enjoying a pixie cut as it grows back in, your vid is awesome! It also reminded me of all the fun ways we can add hair (wigs, extentions, etc) or just decoration. I have been enjoying my collection of fun 90s era scarfs and beaded headbands again. The beaded headbands are also a partial throwback to the 1920s-30s. I think at this junction, humans have done just about everything we can possibly do with our hair. The current trend of playing with bright faux colors is what will really stick in my memory for the early 2020's. Cheers! 💟

While I've never had hair quite as long as her, I've definitely gone from bra strap length hair to a short pixie cut a couple of times in my life. Usually when you get to that point, you're just done with messing with the long hair and are excited to get rid of it lol. My hairdressers were usually more nervous than I was hahahaha. I will say the worst part is the growing out process. Soooo many awkward in between lengths to get through. I'm lucky that my hair grows incredibly fast, so chopping it all off is never that big of a deal to me.

@@bunny_0288 Haha~ Similar experience with hair dressers. My hair grows fast as well and have had several long periods where maintaining a short style wasn't feasible.....and then you go in and tell them to cut it all off.....oh, and I want a side shave too....oh, and lets start bleaching it out so it can be purple~......and they just stare with that nervous smile asking, "Oh, are....you super sure?" like five times.... I don't envy them their jobs.

Everyone’s talking about her cutting her hair showing dedication, but can we also just appreciate the absolute headache it must’ve been to plan out the order of filming? She would’ve needed to film from styles that needed the longest cut to shortest cut while still making sure the video made chronological sense and was cut neatly. This probably required a really really detailed outline and script to make sure she didn’t accidentally cut her hair for one decade then realize she still needed it longer to film a different decade.

@@McCammalot As much as your wish is kind, wishes do nothing. Now praying to the one †rue God for miraculous healing... That's a different story. I know a woman who was born with a shriveled leg. She had always been that way and everyone had always known of her condition because it was obvious, but one day on a tour bus she was prayed for and her leg was healed. In that very moment, it grew before everyone's eyes!!! My close friend even witnessed this. She now has a healthy, normal leg! And that's FAR from the only report I could give you. God is real. Contrary to popular disbelief. And it is disbelief which keeps these things from happening more often. We are SO doubtful. So lacking in faith. That's why Chris† said that even if we had faith the size of a mustard seed (mustard seeds are very tiny), then, even with only THAT much faith, we could ask in God's name for mountains to move and they would. That's how much faith we lack. But we can even pray for God to give us better faith! So do it! Do not merely wish... Pray!
