My Hair Length Is Almost Waist Length

When I was newly natural, I was a fanatic with measuring my hair length.  After my second big chop, I no longer felt the need to measure anymore.  Maybe I felt that once I knew that my natural hair would grow to great lengths, I didn't feel the need to constantly measure it.  When I first did my Big Chop I had 6 inches of hair.  Now after my second big chop/ 1st Devachan cut in December 2013, my inner being was satisfied to know that natural hair can grow to great lengths when taken care of.  I also had a follow up Devachan cut in January 2015.  Today, my hair is almost waist length, about 3 inches from my waist.  I don't feel like measuring it with a tape measurer, and because I haven't flat ironed it in 2 years, I haven't seen the full straightened length.  To be honest, I have no intention of flat ironing my hair any time soon.  As for now, I'm just AWA- almost waist length.

Do you measure your hair or just stretch it out to see the growth?
