This video of the 'Evolution of Womens Hair in Under Four Minutes' is not only super entertaining, but can also teach you a thing or two about, well, the evolution of women's hair.

Starting with a prehistoric 'do and ending with current hairstyles, the video seems to leave out other races, as well as women with [short hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipin-bangs), but nonetheless it is definitely fascinating to watch.

The stop-motion Evolution of Womens Hair in Under Four Minutes video is obviously in chronological order and includes some stunning [hair inspiration ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair), including the always gorgeous Cleopatra-inspired hairdo.

This may even serve as your inspiration for a Halloween costume this year. With just under four minutes of different hairstyles, it's hard not to find something you love.
