  1. Do you have any sources for this video? I am doing a school report on the fashion of the 1920s and how it reflects women’s growing independence! Your video has a lot of facts that are really fascinating about the hair trends of the time and I haven’t been able to find any good sources on hair that is more than a fleeting word or two on how all the women suddenly just chopped all their hair off, which obviously was not the case. I was just wondering what you used for reference when making your video! Thanks a lot and I love all your videos!

    1. Hi Isabelle,
      My primary source for these videos was the book “Fashions in Hair” by Richard Corson, it’s a great book and scientifically appropriate! ;) Definitely check that one out, it gives very complete information.
