In the new episode of the '100 Years of Beauty' series, Cut Video returns this time to give us beauty trends in Syria. The video features styles from the 1910s, to the glamorous looks of the 1920s to 1950s, all the way until the 2010s.

Jessica Damouni, the model in this video, has her hair covered in different ways throughout the video.

She shows off fun hairstyles through the end of the 20th century. In the 2000s, she adds a headscarf. This was when Bashar al-Assad took power in Syria.

For the 2010s, Damouni is fully covered in a black hijab as she holds up a peace sign with the Syrian flag painted on her fingers.

On Pinterest the creators of the video go through every decade of style and explain who their inspiration was for the shot and why they chose that particular hairstyle.

The video is an indirect commentary on how political and social developments in the country and its impact on the fashion trends.
