Since posting, Fitts' video has racked up more than 283,000 views on Instagram and over 27,000 likes on TikTok, with lots of fans complimenting her different looks.

Fitts, who has been a hairstylist for almost 10 years, said she started recording the video in January and it took a little over three weeks to finish the looks.

She said does hair almost every day, but on her days off which are Sunday and Monday, she would search for looks to include. Then, she would record two looks at a time weekly. \"It was pretty hectic, but I stuck with it and got it done,\" she said.

While the hairstyles were hard to choose because there are so many to pick from, Fittts said she ultimately just picked styles that she would liked to have worn during those time periods.

\"I'm kind of surprised at all of the positive feedback from the video because it was supposed to just be something fun, but I also worked hard -- so I knew everyone would love it,\" said Fitts.

She added: \"After watching my video, I hope someone would feel inspired to make an even better one or create hairstyles similar to keep our Black history looks as current as possible.\"

Fitts often posts a lot of her work and loads of \"hair-spiration\" on her social media feeds, and plans to offer virtual classes to those curious to learn how to recreate some of the looks and services she offers.
