What is in style today may become outmoded tomorrow, and what is currently considered foolish and ridiculous may be at its height in a few hundred years. On her YouTube channel, American Morgan Donner chose to experiment with hairstyles that have been worn by women for 500 years. It ended up being a significant and educational project. Look at it now!

Morgan braided her hair, pulled it up, and added a hat to give herself a look inspired by the 1520s. Only the addition of circular caps transformed the hairdo in the 1530s.

The 2020s have only just begun. Additionally, she made the decision to try a trimmer haircut and shaved almost all of her hair off.
