I watched this a few days ago and was absolutely floored by the end. The planning, the research, the hair skills, the editing, THE BALLS!

The way she starts chopping off her Rapunzel-length hair like it's no big deal...what a queen.

I have recently grown a patch of reddish hair in my otherwise mostly brown (with some red highlights) hair. Interesting that she also had a couple patches of differently colored (blonde) hair.

Almost positive that the wolf cut originated from everything, including hair stylists, being closed in 2020. There have been tutorials on Youtube for years on how to cut your own hair that show snipping off part of the ponytail on top of the head exactly.

- Hello, and good morning, lovely friends. I have a lot of hair and history has a ton of awesome hairstyles that I've always wanted to try. And I've got a bit of time on my hands. So, yay. This video is kindly sponsored by Wondrium and I will talk a bit more about them later. But for right now, let's just jump on in to it, starting with the early 1500s. We have a fairly consistent center part, kind of smooth look going on. The hair is likely all one length and fairly long, which is convenient because that's what I've got. We don't know for sure though, because usually the link of the hair isn't visible and based on the prior and following decades though, and the positioning of the head dresses, it's pretty likely that the length of the hair is wrapped up in braids around the head, like, so. I don't have a French hood so a veil is going to have to do. 10 years later into the 1530s and not much has really changed hairstyle wise, although Italy has added like a fun round hat, kind of mimicking this veil shape to the equation, which is kind of cute. I do want to add a quick footnote to say that I can't possibly cover every nuance of every style for every decade. I'm just going to do ones that seem to be pretty common or look like they'd be fun. You know, there's always little oddities that don't really well-represent what you're seeing in most portraits. More of the same in the 1540s, although they are starting to develop just a little hint of a hairline role, which leads us very nicely into the 1550s. By now, the role has definitely taken off. Kind of like this, and then just braid the rest. There's also this super cute trend of curling this little baby hair section here, right in front of the ears. I think it's actually kind of cute. So about 10 years later, still doing the roll, although it's gotten a little bigger, a little, little fluffier, maybe. Also the ruff is starting, which I'm a big fan of. Ruffs are so dang cute. Now the rolls are starting to get pretty serious. You kind of have two distinct styles developing. One seems to be very smooth and structured. They're likely using some sort of form underneath. And then the other version is more of like a very frizzy, fuzzy style that I think is starting to use shorter hairs and tightly curling them, and like maybe gently rolling them a little bit so that you're getting a lot of your floof from the shorter frizzy hairs, rather than the smooth structured look. Now let's see if we can just stuff my rolls with some hair rats to kind of embiggen them a little bit. All right, for a quick like just kind of shoving it into my already rolled hair. It's not bad. For the 1580s the ruffs are getting even bigger and so are those rolls. There is also definitely a short hair variant, like a fringe version. The shorter hair that has definitely been curled to create volume, but in a more kind of- - [Robot voice] Defined. - sort of way. Instead of the super smooth slick roll. So it just, it gets real big in the 80s for a bit. England and France are now up to pretty much the same thing that they have been for the last, you know, 10, 20 years. It's just big. But Italy has kind of an interesting thing going on. They've started making these little hair horns, which are so cute. There's this text from a visitor to Venice. He mentioned something about the hair horns being made with artful curls and twisting alone. I think that'd be fun to try. So, let's go ahead and take out our hair rats here. And I have, I don't have like full on bangs, but I do have some moderately decent fringe hair stuff going on. So I'm going to take this down and see what I can accomplish with this. All right, well, you know, it's not quite perfect, but I think as like a proof of concept for how it possibly could have been done in the time, you'd probably want a thicker section of cut short hair. But this is pretty stinkin close with not very much hair at all. For the new century, the English are still kind of doing the same thing, big and poofy. Although they do at some point kind of have fun with reapproaching that curled little hair right here. But it's very like noodley. 1610s, still big and curly. All that super big rolled fringe is finally starting to reduce down, kind of deflating in the 20s, which actually leads us very nicely into the 30s. 30s are where things get actually quite interesting. A lot of the styles before now, you could kind of get away with not doing any sort of fringe or short hair, but if you are going for the kind of fashionable look of the 30s, you absolutely 100% had to cut your hair shorter. So the hair in the very center front is pretty minimal. But if you kind of start there and then go back to about an inch above and behind your ear and kind of curve it down, take out this little slice of hair right here, that is pretty much the section that needs to be shortened. I mean you'd probably want to do a better job of getting it even all the way across, but you get the idea, right? Let's see if I can do a slightly better job of that. So this is like a very conservative sort of sectioning off of hair. Like in some of the portraits, it looks like it maybe is a slightly deeper angle. So it goes back and covers more of this section on the side of the head. But this seems to be pretty average from what I can tell, looking at the portraits. And the length kind of varies both by personal taste and a little bit by century. But, you know, bust-ish (scissors snipping) is probably about right. (scissors snipping) So then we're going to take this section here, give it a good curl. I know this seems like a lot of hair and seems like a weird move for them to have done, but this hairstyle would cover you, not only for the 30s, but also the 40s, the 50s and the 60s. They found a new style and really held on for a minute. So, I need to go curl this, I'll be right back. So the rest of the hair is just pulled back behind the head into a bun or kind of like an oval shaped crown braid you can sometimes see on the back of portraits. I think I'm going to braid the length of this really quick so I can get kind of a cute little look while this finishes drying. I think it is really surprisingly cute. It's completely unlike anything that you would think of for a modern style, but you know, after looking at all the portraits, I'm like, hey, I look like the portraits, which I think is really fun. This does cover us all the way through the 60s. But once you get to the 70s, the 1670s, it does seem like the fullness is starting to kind of move up. And the curls are so thick that what I think is happening is that you're basically taking this style from before and just pinning them up. Yeah, so something to that effect. The 80s are a little bit more of a transitional decade. I would say that they don't necessarily quite have a style of their own. They're just sort of the in-between point of all that curl down here and what comes next. All right, so this was an incredibly rough approximation of the idea of kind of the hair and curl. The volume is starting to move up higher on top of the head. And then it kind of seems like maybe the whole bun braid thing is falling out of favor. You see a lot of like what looks like the hair being left loose, and often kind of like decoratively curled at the ends. 10 years later and the curls and volume has completed its journey upward and it'll stay there for the next, like 30 to 40 years. Like it's, they're really hanging on to trends for a while back then. They also have this cute little thing where they take this little bit of hair right here and make these little, like little circular curls right above the eyebrows. I'm going to be honest guys, I have no clue, absolutely no earthly idea how they did this business up here. I don't know. In a lot of portraits, it seems like there's this sash or ribbon sort of interwoven throughout it, but not in a way that I've quite wrapped my head around just yet. So I'm going to go ahead and give it a try. It's probably going to be wrong, but we'll see what we can do. There does seem to be kind of like a dual pointiness, like in a symmetricalness to the style. Tried to make sure I was very evenly rolling things as I went up. It pretty much continues this way until we hit the 1720s when the height, which I did not really aptly achieve, but the height starts to kind of deflate a little bit, which now that I mentioned it is I think kind of the fate of all the big hairstyles. Like styles get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then foof, they deflate. (Morgan laughs) For the 1730s, the little curls over the forehead thing have finally disappeared. There we go. And instead they're just kind of like little curls all over. Except only sometimes. Sometimes it's like very tight close to the head curls. Sometimes it's more like a very loose, casual style. I don't know. I feel like maybe they were also a little bit confused as to what was the big style. Because I noticed a whole lot of cap wearing, cause now it doesn't matter what my hair looks like because it's covered. Ta-da. (Morgan laughs) Okay, but for the 40s they're starting to kind of get it together again, get like a consistent look. The new look for this decade, as well as the next 10, 20, 30 years or so is a section about like so, that is curled into short little, very neat rolls on top of the head. So from what I can tell in the portraiture, it seems like this whole front section here is a bit shorter than it's been in centuries past. So, oh, there. (scissors snipping) This is also the time period where we really start to see powdered looks take hold. You know that image you have of 18th Century powdered wigs, very big and floofy and stuff? This is kind of where it starts. So we are going to need to put in some pomatum and some powder. Thank you very much, Abby, for sending both of those over. I very much appreciate it. Mmm, lard. So apparently what I'm supposed to do is take out a like coin sized chunk and then, oh, I should take off my rings. One second. And then sort of melt it in between your hands. And then I guess just kind of start applying it to the hair. Next up is the powder. From what I understand, I literally just toss powder on this. I believe it's supposed to be uniformly sort of fluffy and white. So if there's sticky bits that are still kind of chunking together like this, that probably means that they need need more powder. All right, and now we just do this all over. Ohh my new mug came by the way, and it is very lovely. A little bit thicker maybe to help future proof it against clumsy people. Although that didn't help when I immediately spilled coffee on myself, so. All right, 1740s, something to this effect. I can also toss on more powder at the end to get like a white powdered look. I don't feel like it though. Here you go. The back was a little bit more of an educated guess. Later on they definitely do the braid and then tuck up thing. This is what I came up with. I do really love how the center front makes like a little heart, very cute. Whoo boy. Hair has gotten big. I think I'm going to need that long hair in the front back again. So um, one second. All right, let's get to it. So I don't have a hair cushion, which is what you would put on underneath to help support the tallness of this hairstyle, nor do I really feel like making one for just this one hairstyle and then that's it. So I instead put together four pairs of very fluffy clean socks and kind of tucked them within each other to make a circle. And I kinda made a quick little donut cushion for myself. I think this is gonna work out really well. It feels like it's about the right size and shape for the kind of more modest cushions of the day. I did just have a quick peek in the mirror with like, so I can look at the sides and the back and I didn't quite perfectly cover the little sock cushion. I think for doing it all by myself for the first time, I'm going to say not bad. They would also often put, you know, some sort of little lacy, fluffy, you know, poof thing here on top. Maybe add some flowers, some feathers, you know, make it as fancy and tall and ridiculous as they could. But, you know, I don't really have much. So here we go, that is 1770s. Alrighty, what comes up, must come down. Onto the next decade. So that long style for the 70s was really just in for a small moment before they were right back to short cuts being the thing. Particularly for this section in the front and then long in back kind of as per usual, up till now, right? I'm going to need that short hair back again. All right, so short hair has returned. I'm actually going to separate out the long stuff really quick just to get it out of the way. There we go. Nice and neat and separated out again. Now looking at the original images where they've created these big poofy kind of circle, halo of curls. Unfortunately I don't think that this is actually going to quite work. Because as you can see, my hair is cut all at one length. And theirs, from what I can tell is kind of like a circle of hair cut length. So the hair here should be the same length as the hair here. And it is not in fact. The hair on top is a fair bit longer than the stuff on the bottom because it's, you know, this has to travel this- I don't need to explain the geometry of heads and hair. I'm sure you get it. So, but that does mean, I think I need to do a little bit of a quick trim. (scissors snipping) There we go. So for this curling, I actually want to try a method that I saw it looks of cool, which is, I think it's called using papillotes. It's like a tissue paper that you take your hair, you roll it up into a little curl, you put it in the tissue paper, you iron it flat, and then you let it cool like that and then you take it out and you have a beautiful curl, theoretically. I got some tissue papers and I've already cut them up into triangles, kind of about yay big. Now I'm going to go ahead and get to rollin so we can keep this video moving along. It has cooled down completely. So let's see how this turned out. (papers crinkling) I do love how easy they are or remove considering it took forever to put in. We definitely have a very tight curl, very Medusa-esque. It almost looks like I have fake hair on. Very weird looking. But let's start separating them out. Some of the curls immediately are falling out. So that's cool. There is definitely a lot of curl though, in most of them though, so that's nice. I do suspect that even though I gave it a little bit of a trim, it's still a little bit too long. But we're just going to use some pins to fix that. And then the back at least is very easy. You literally just leave it down. I think that sometimes it's like tied with a cute little ribbon or bow. Sometimes the ends are curled so they look cute, sometimes not. You know, you got options. And then the next decade is basically the same thing, except they decided to add a cute little like ribbon situation. Basically like that, still with the tail down in the back. New century, new look. All of the volume and fussiness and like, ahh, muchness of the last like 60 plus years has completely disappeared. It's almost like everyone collectively decided that they were tired of it. And you know what, messy bun, that's good enough. Haircut wise, there's a lot of variation, but it seems like the, you know, small bit of fringe kind of nicely framing the face with a little bit of light casual curl seemed really, really, really common. But there's a lot of really kind of cool things going on in this period actually. - Can I add something really quick? - Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Give me a second. - Oh, thanks. In addition to the messy bun look, there was this fascinating turn of the century moment where short hair was a really, really big thing. Way shorter than anything we've seen in centuries and centuries. It's basically a modern pixie cut. Although perhaps a little touch long on top slash in the front so that you can still have bangs, which are very much still curled to match the look of the messy bun folk. Anyways, just had share from my short haired folks. Thanks. - So onto the 1810s. Now the bun and curly fringe look is definitely still in. It feels like maybe the fringe is starting to get a little bit more thicker in volume-esque and maybe a touch neater. Like more purposeful with like the styling of the area. And then for the 20s we are absolutely, definitely getting a much more structured and like purposeful with the look. For the back of the head they're doing various very neat and tidy arrangements, lots of buns and braided buns. And, but it's kind of like here-ish, right at the top back of the crown. And then for the fringe, they have kind of a lot of curling styles going, but doing a set of buckles along the side seems to be pretty popular. And here is our look. I like that portrait with the little three braids on top. I thought that was super cute. By the end of the decade and into the 30s it just gets to be more and more fantastical. Fans of Gentleman Jack will be familiar with the sort of like fun, whimsical, you know additions that start happening. Lots of very full fun curls in the front, lots of loops and like really elaborate braiding situations going on in back. So, basically this look just, you know, add 50% more to it. Taller, floofier, all of that. I think that false hair is definitely kind of making a comeback by now if judging from what I'm seeing in a lot of these looks. I don't have a false hair that would work really well for this particular style, but, I do have some recently removed real hair. So with enough hairspray, we've got this. Let's see if I can make something out of this. In particular, I noticed that like these little loops seem really popular. Okay, I've got one loop. All right, well, I've tried, I made something happen up here. 1830s were a very fun decade, hair and fashion wise. But as we've seen so far, what comes up must come back down. And we need to just deflate everything back down again. Some folks are definitely holding on to the cute little side curls for a while. But definitely by the end of the 40s it's moved to this no fringe, like smooth sided look thing. So unfortunately fringe is out, long hair all around is back in. Which means that I'm going to need my long hair back. So I'll be right back. All righty, so to do the style, we're going to want a center part. And then I'm going to take the top sections from about the top of the head to about right behind the ear. For the back section here we're just going to toss that up into a really quick bun. And then for the front bits, you kind of have a couple of different options. You can very simply take your little swoopy-bit kind of gently lay it against your head and then wrap it around the bun. Kind of like so, very fetching. Hmm. So I really shouldn't have these shorties here, but we're going to do what we can do. Things are still fairly smooth, but they're starting to gain some volume in this little side poof area. In the few paintings where you can see a bit more of a side profile, it seems like the loop look is mostly disappearing at this point. It's really just kind of a big floof, like so. You could use back combing. I am going to just use a quick pair of hair rats. Like it's both ridiculous looking, but also, I don't know, surprisingly cute. I feel like a very young grandma. It's kind of hard to say anything terribly distinctive about the 1860s. Like the volume is starting to kind of make its way a little bit higher up here. There's maybe a little bit more like waving and curling of hair before putting it up, going on. But it's still pretty much all one length. There is this very cute, like flower crown trend going on in a lot of portraits. Is that not so dang cute. So for the 1870s, we have returned to the ever popular crown braid with one small addition. Okay, maybe a rather big addition. So hair pieces have reached just absolute new heights in the 1870s. The magazines of the time are just full of advertisements for them. And there's even some really cool illustrations on how to add them into your hair. I think I'm actually going to go ahead and follow this one. Cause it looks easy enough to be within my skillsets. First, we're going to take out the front sections and then this like top of the crown section right here needs to be separated off and then braided from that point. We're going to take a little section right below it, twist it up that bit of hair and then kind of looped it down and around so that I can then pin this section right here and have that sturdy little knot to pin the false hair and do it later. Then it looks like we take this and we're going to brush it together. And then back and over top of that little bun we made. Whew, all right. We have the first bun, the second bun with the top back. So now comes the false hair so let's see what I have. I have a little like braided bun thing, which is kind of nice for filling in an area that needs a little bit more. But I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for for this style. So this is actually probably the closest thing I have to the illustration. Although mine is woefully inadequate. It's not going to be as magnificent as it seems to be in the advertisements. And then I'm just going to hide the ends underneath. Hopefully it looks somewhat reasonable from the back and then apparently we're supposed to take this tail section, flip it up and then kind of gracefully lay it about the top bun. Let's see what we can do here. Okay, it looks all right. I suspect that this was not done as neatly as it could have, but it kind of works. Yeah, I can definitely tell that my hair pieces that I added should have been much like fluffier, but I have to work with what I've got, so here we go, 1870s. So the super excessive, big hair look of the 70s kind of calmed down by the time you get to the 80s and they have a slightly more, you know, natural and toned down look. Also the hair fringe comes back. So that'll be very fun. But not like a massive amount of fringe like we've seen in past centuries. Instead it's actually kind of what we would more modernly associate with fringe. It's just this little section right here. I'm going to go curl it. And I think that I will also maybe give a little bit of curl to this front section here as well. Because whenever the hair gets put back into the bun, you kind of want a little bit of extra like sort of textured wave going on there, but you don't need to do the whole back of the head. So the 90s are essentially the same as the 80s. We still have a very fluffy fringe look with a high bun at the back. We are getting maybe a little bit more volume here. Kind of just a little bit more frizzy, poofy, fluffy until we kind of evolve into the early 1900. When you think Edwardian, you usually picture this really big fluffy halo of hair, really testing how much volume we can put in this area, right above the head in particular. Usually still the length of the hair on top. Fringe is mostly gone at this point though, they've kind of incorporated that hair in. You might see little slightly fuzzy bits, but not much. So, I'm going to redo this really quick. See what we can do. It's such an interesting thing to do older hairstyles, because I feel like there's this interesting feeling of like whew, I look like a grandma. But at the same time, like it was like the sexy it look of the time. It's just, it's such an interesting thing the connotations that we have in our heads. Anyways, so for the 1910s, I feel like it's such a particularly interesting decade. Because it's very much caught in between two incredibly iconic styles. That Gibson Girl look of the last decade and then the Flapper 20s look. It's a little bit like if you were to look at a Pokemon while it's halfway in between its evolution. It's not really either one, but you know, you can see that it has elements of both. So for the 10s you kind of just have like a flattening-ish of the previous style. It starting to sort of come down and get close around the face and the head. And it basically continues to mush down and flatten and frame the face until suddenly, it becomes a bob. So interestingly, this hair Pokemon had two variations. The very kind of cute and curly, or the very, very like completely straight. It's interesting, not everyone actually went for the full bobbed hair cut. They didn't all cut their hair short. But even those that chose to keep longer hair still coiled it and styled it in such a way that it was still a mimicking this shape. So like, this is the fashionable silhouette, no matter what your length actually was. The 30s are still quite curly and very cute, but maybe less defined and a little bit smoother up top near the crown. And the length is definitely starting to get a little bit longer. We are still very curly in the 40s, although definitely getting a little bit longer about maybe collarbone length on the longer layers that are then curled so that they're just brushing the shoulders. And then very much covering the back of the neck. The top half does seem to have at least a bit of layering so that it keeps the whole thing kind of light and fluffy and makes it so that you can easily pin back these layers. And it allows the front to do lots of really interesting things when you brush out the curls. The look of the 50s was surprisingly short. I would maybe even say shorter than the 20s. Lots of layering in that shortness. And if you did have some longer hair during that period, you were definitely doing some pinning up so that it looked like it was that kind of fashionable short in the back. They are adding a bit of height, although victory curls are out. So let's take those down really quick. So it does seem like there was definitely a trend of getting stuff kind of up and away out of the face. Whereas sometimes the 40s did a little bit of like, you know, peek-a-boo fun. This is just barely hanging on with whole bunch of pins. So really, you should just have a slightly shorter hair in order to get that like very kind of messy curly look. Same pin curl technique as for the 40s just a little bit shorter so that you get a more kind of a spiky feel to it. As we get near the end of the 50s though, the kind of high and curly look starts to kind of round out. So here's a very messy approximation of that end of 50s getting kind of rounded and voluminous look that you start to see. You still see some of that roundness in the 60s, although they definitely let their ends get a little bit longer and do this super cute flipped up ends look. There's actually quite a bit of variation for this decade. You have some folks that are definitely not doing the big structured sort of helmet style, and instead are going for a much more casual, natural, usually fairly long, but just no muss, no fuss sort of style. To get the volume up here you're going to want to tease the heck out of this crown area of hair. You're going to want to curl the ends so that they do that cute little flip-up look. Haircut-wise you are going to want your hair a little bit shorter than this. Probably about collarbone length would work really well if you want to get that nice like hovering flip look like you see in a lot of the advertisements and pictures from the day. Bangs, you actually kind of have a lot of options. You can go for the super blunt. You can go for kind of the wispy, side swept. You can go for no bangs at all. Lots of choices. I feel like the first half of the 60s is trying to combine the big hair on top with the like casual, long hair on bottom look that the 60s had. But then once Farrah Fawcett is in her famous Charlie's Angels role in I think '76 or so, the hair landscape immediately transfers to these big kind of back swept feathered hairstyle. Haircut wise, you kind of got a lot of options for length. But whatever you choose, you're going to have shorter layers on top and then getting progressively longer and longer with those feathered layers, especially along the hairline front edge. I think along the back, it didn't matter as much how feathered out your hair was, although at least a bit for sure. And yeah, and then you curl it until the ends flip up and this again, surprisingly cute look. Another big celebrity look emerged in the early 80s with Princess Diana's very short bob. But by the late 80s we see what we kind of now think of as the iconic 80s big permed hair. Usually kind of haircut wise, mid bust to collarbones or so and curled within an inch of its life. Maybe a bit of a layering up in the top to help make this as light and fluffy as possible. Eventually that big puffy curly permed look of the 80s starts settling down and by the mid 90s, we have a fairly straight, surprisingly kind of chill style. Much straighter than the hair has been in quite a long time. And it's very much kind of defined by Rachel, from Friends. The Rachel haircut, wherein it's a bunch of layers that come down and frame the face nicely. Length can vary depending on what season the show is in. And of course, individual persons who might be inspired by it, but wanting to do their own thing. So, length varies a little bit, but the like layered fairly straight cut, very big. Another thing that is not a hair cut, so it's only kind of relevant, but it also sort of is, is that highlights are very, very big in the nineties. Which would have really nicely shown off the fact that your hair is layered because all those colors would stop and start and stop and start because of how you're seeing the layers appear. So, on mine, it just looks like a brown blob, but you get the idea. Hair is still quite straight in the early 2000s, maybe a little bit longer now though from like bust to collarbone, somewhere in that area. Bangs wise, there was a little bit of the short fringe, but a lot of these like long face framing kind of side layers. Partings could be zigzagged, which was very fun, or completely straight part, side part. And towards the end, they definitely did this interesting, what was this called? The bump it? Like that? (Morgan laughs) Definitely had a moment there too. Big loose braids came in near the end of the aughts. And I would argue are still going pretty strong. You can wear it in an updo, down do, braid do. Speaking of which, braids. I don't think I really realized it before starting this project, but let's see, Game of Thrones came out in 2011. I think Hunger Games came out in 2012, and then the Viking show came out in 2013, and YouTube just exploded with hair tutorial, how to braid type videos. And yeah, I kind of wonder if in the future, the way that we think of as the 80s, or the Roaring 20s or you know, that we have kind of that stereotypical vision in our head of what that look is. I kind of wonder if like waterfall braid, you know, with lots of waves is going to be that mental image. But that said, I've always wanted to give Katniss' like sideways braid a try and for some reason I just don't think I ever have. So, I'm going to do that real quick. And here we are. I love braids so much, but time to move on to our next decade, the 2020s. Now, yes, the decade has only just begun, but I still think that it warrants a mention. If you're on TikTok or even if you're not, there's a very good chance that you've seen the wolf cut. You know, the ponytail on top, hold it out, cut the end and you get this very layered shag haircut. Is it possible that I did this entire video mostly because I specifically wanted to try that haircut? Maybe, but let's get to it. This is a good look. I have some short cut hairs already. So I think I want this to be the same length as them. And you guys can't see very well, can you? There we go, that kind of works. That seems about right. (scissors snipping) Oh no, we're still attached, okay. (scissors snipping) There we go. I see why everybody gets a lopsided one now. Surprisingly difficult to do that to yourself. Let go of my head please. (Morgan laughs) My hairs so poofy. I know that sometimes people will take off more from the shorter layers in order to get a more pronounced layering effect, but I'm going to try styling this in its unadulterated form and see what I can get. All righty, something to that effect. (Morgan laughs) I think I maybe went just a little bit too curly, but you know, pretty close for a first try. I think that does just about finish us up though. I take that back. Apparently we're not done yet. Yeah, one final last haircut trend and sorry that my hair got drastically dressed different in the last 10 seconds. Time got a little, you know, wibbly, wobbly, timey, winey in this video. The buzz cut. I don't know necessarily that it's a trend, but I definitely feel like I have seen more buzz cuts in the past year, year and a half than I have in all of my years prior. So it's definitely trend adjacent for sure. And if nothing else, it sounds like a lot of fun and I've never done it before, so why not? And I am back and feeling very cute. My shirt was covered in way too much hair so I wanted to go change and take a quick shower. And speaking of which, this dries in like 30 seconds flat, like that is fantastic. Also I have discovered that apparently I have like a blonde patch or a gray patch or something going on on the side here, which is very exciting. I thought it was a bald spot at first, but I realized like, no, it has just as much hair as the rest. It's just a different color. So, learning all sorts of new things. (Morgan laughs) Which is very exciting. I really had a blast researching for this video and then doing it. If you had fun watching, (jazzy music) then I would actually really strongly recommend that you check out the sponsor of today's video, Wondrium. I love history and learning new stuff. And Wondrium is a great place for both. They have a fantastic, highly curated collection of long and short form videos, tutorials, documentaries, so many cool things. And so many cool subjects. Of course stuff like art and hobbies and history. You know, I love those. But also things like science, math, religion, finance. Somewhere out there, there's like a middle school version of myself, that is just rolling her eyes at me so hard right now. But, I like what I like. If you happen to be watching this shortly after I post the video, then I would like to let you know, courtesy of Wondrium's program This Day in History that today or soon today, or soon recently yesterday, whatever, is Mary Shelley's birthday. You might know that she's the author of Frankenstein, which is considered by many to be the start of science fiction. One of the earliest science fiction novels. But did you know that she wrote it as a teenager? And because her friends decided to have like a little, let's tell spooky stories night, which, (Morgan laughs) learning about historical hairstyles is very fun. But learning a bit about some of the people that had these hairstyles and how they live their lives it's just so neat. Please do visit Wondrium.com/MorganDonner.
