In honor of Movember, the 12th episode of Cut Video's enormously popular "100 Years of Beauty" series focuses on the hirsute evolution of men's style over the last century. Featuring the swoon-worthy modeling talents of Samuel Orson, the video is a great reminder that hairstyles have actually changed a lot for men, since hair is one of the few beauty trends many men actually follow.
