YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The documented history of hairstyles begins prior to 3200 BC, when braided wigs were in vogue. In this short animation, we've condensed hairstyles from over 50 centuries into a single video. From the chignon of 9th century BC, to horned buns that peaked in the 15th century, hair fashion has always been a significant expression of human creativity.
