I think I'd be kind of delighted. Hair is seen so much as just a fashion accessory now, that to grow it, rather than succumb to the latest trends in haircuts takes time (Captain Obvious haha), dedication and an appreciation of what it means to have long hair.
And those girls that you mention who don't treat their hair with due reverence? If they manage to grow to hip length with all the bleaching and blowdrying, then that's impressive (and will mean not everyone looks the same with hip-length virgin hair), and if they don't, then maybe they'll learn more about proper hair care.
And the world will live hairily every after.
