On one hand, this is quite enjoyable, with an interesting premise and a world I'd like to learn more about. But on the other we are told so little about anything, barely anything is explained, why was her father's hair deemed too long thus dangerous when plenty of other characters have equally long or longer hair but are still alive and in some cases considered great and respectable? Why does cutting her hair immediately notify the authorities and deem her a traitor when other characters have clearly cut their hair for fringes? 
The art style is so simplistic that the panels that show them using their magic are very hard to follow and you can't really understand what's happening.
