Why it worked

The video leverages a strong visual contrast between historical periods, tapping into a common interest in historical fashion and societal change. The dramatic shift in hairstyles serves as a compelling visual narrative that is easily digestible and shareable.

Summary

The video contrasts women's hairstyles before and after World War I. It shows historical images of women with very long hair before the war, and then transitions to images of women with shorter, more modern hairstyles after the war, symbolizing a shift in societal norms.

Original caption

After World War I, many women began wearing short hair as a symbol of change. During the war, they served as nurses, factory workers, drivers, and volunteers, risking their lives to support soldiers and keep their countries running. Their courage proved that heroes weren’t only on the battlefield—they also helped shape history❤️🫡 #ww1 #History #women #hair #war
