I've had stick straight fine hair my entire life. Length for 20 years has been just below my shoulders and I wash and round blow dry it every morning, as airdrying it looks horrible and I live in the south where the humidity is a daily thing. Curls from hot rollers, curling irons, sponge rollers (child of the 70s), all fall out within hours and leave me with a 'sticky from all the hairspray and holding products' hot mess.

The new hairdresser I went to this week suggested taking off a couple extra inches to be just below my chin and more layers on my crown and her exact words at that point were 'girl, your hair is trying to be sassy!'. Spun me around to face the mirror and y'all I have 2A.waves all over and a couple of pretty curls at the base of my neck. Who knew! Any fine haired gals that have go to products they'd recommend for styling their 2A waves?

Recently while on vacation outside of the US, I impulsively bought a lab grown round stone, 1.95 ct I VS1, mounted in white gold with channel set real diamonds.. Went back and forth with the store before I purchased it, that the stone must have an IGI Certificate and they assured me it did and would email it to me. Later, after the certificate never was sent, they admitted they don't even sell stones that are certified by IGI.

Before I dispute it with my credit card company, I took it to an independent AGS appraiser and today got the actual appraisal back. The report references the stone as a round brilliant 'diamond', 2.07 ct stone, F, VVS2, so different than what original purchase paperwork stated. There's no mention of anything related to lab grown diamonds in the appraisal either. Is it normal for a lab grown stone appraisal to not state lab grown?

Note: the stones in the white gold band have a separate section on the appraisal and appraisal details match up with purchase paperwork.
