I've wanted try a bunch of these styles for so long, but always had the 'wrong' hair length! So I fixed that, one style at a time.

    she went from having rapunzels hair in the start to having a buzz cut- the dedication is impressive
  • I can't even describe how much I love this video. It's not only the wildness of someone going from hip-length hair to a buzz cut, it is educational, it's funny. The swapping between long and shorter hair kills me!! It is so good! It's amazing!!
  • @dimxlights380
    the fact that she casually whips out scissors and nonchalantly starts cutting her hair. She has dedication to this video.
  • The fact that she so casually chopped her hair off when the hairstyles got shorter-- true dedication
  • @-katbug.
    This proves that she looks good in any hairstyle
  • @santipapa6986
    That 40s hair actually compliments your face very nicely, the same as the curly bob, it took my breath away a little it really makes you look like a movie star, slay
  • @FierceGinger
    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.
  • @yukiyami6622
    The fact that Morgan looks good in every hairstyle no matter what year
  • @juuhaesae
    Something i never even stopped to think about before is how much our face (or at least the perception of it) changes depending on our hair. Every 40 seconds she looked like an entire different person 😂
  • @Kate-dt1rh
    The fact that she just cut her hair just for one style is so brave I could never
  • She really said commitment 🙌🏻 This video is a masterpiece
  • "I wanna cut my hair but i don't just wanna cut my hair. I wanna make it into an in depth journey through hair history while I slowly cut my hair in a heavily researched, scripted and edited amazing video" Gosh, what a FANTASTIC video. All the time, the planning, the back and forth in filming and the linear editing. This is a real movie
  • @Aubz
    I sat down, exhausted, fully expecting to kind of skip through the video or just not finish it because it was close to bedtime. However, she did an amazing job at engaging me and I forgot what time it was. This video is done so well and truly a masterpiece.
  • @TheBc99
    I so often see fashion history people write off the 17th Century as "ugly" but as a fan of the Louis XIII-XIV period in general I found it INCREDIBLE to see portraits that I've studied come to life.
  • @dianec9456
    Just want to point out that MOST of these ladies would have had a servant helping them do their hair. You did a great job all by yourself!
  • @timsmith4980
    She didn't hesitate even once while cutting it all off. Hats off to you, Morgan.
  • How She looked flawless in most of these haircuts was the most entertaining part
  • 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 ❤
