Point well taken. I appreciate the beauty in long waist length hair on anyone - including someone with natural type 1, 2, or 3 hair. However, as I am used to seeing type 1, 2, and 3 hair as long in its natural state- it is not that exciting to me; although I understand that may not be the case with others who don't see what I have for a lifetime on a daily basis. Most of the black people w/long, natural hair that I encounter fall within those categories. Kudos to anyone on the journey or who have achieved their length goals.
