  4. Hi!
    I’m mahira. I’m 19-year-old.
    Actually it has been long time i been living with such long and curly hair(natural). So, now I’d like to cut my hair short but not to short. Maybe, at the same level of my shoulder.
    the problem is, my hair is not as thick as others. It’s quite thin.Thus, i’d like to know your suggestion about the suitable hair cut fr myself.

    Thanks.
