Free This May Sound Crazy by Abigail Breslin

you should do it. But maybe don’t treat it like it’s actual evidence unless you have evidence. And maybe you should really think first about how you should tell your friend this news. Probably rambling on over coffee as if it’s juicy gossip is not the best way. I learned that lesson the hard way for sure. Maybe starting out with something like, “Hey, I’ve been hearing things from a bunch of our friends aboutyour boyfriend maybe not being totally faithful to you. I don’t know for sure if it’s true, but the sources are legit. Again, I don’t wanna spread rumors if they aren’t true, but I had to tell you because you’re my friend and I want to make sure you’re being treated the way you should be. Wanna meet for coffee and talk about it?”
    That way you aren’t bombarding your friend with this intense news in an alarmed manner. They’ll be more willing to accept the conversation and listen and think it through clearly if they don’t feel they’re being attacked.
    As an actor I can confidently say, it’s all in the delivery!
    Okay. Well. Maybe not everything. But.
Yeah. You get the point.

UNBE-WEAVE-ABLE

    Never
    â€”and I mean NEVER—
    trust a forty-dollar weave.
    Let’s start by saying I used to have perfect hair. Like Tumblr-worthy hair. Hair that would get PROB eight thousand reblogs—and that’s me being HUMBLE.
    But because of my job, a lot of times I’m required to dye it. And, as it turns out, bleaching your hair from auburn to white-blonde five times a year doesn’t really help the whole mermaid look.
    So, about a year ago, I was stuck wearing clip-in extensions to make my hair look longer than its shoulder-length status. They were nice clip-ins, but I always felt awkward wearing them, like someone could see the actually clips poking through. ’TWAS especially embarrassing when I started datingAdam. He was always having to fix my hair to cover the clips.
    But the bonded-on ones (which I use now) are really expensive so you need to reallllllllly invest in them. They do look the realest, tho.
    Anyway. The Point: When I saw Summer in London, her hair looked FLAWLESS—LIKE FLAWWWWWLESSSS. It was long and luscious and just . . . yeah . . . PERF.
    So I asked her what extensions she was using, and she told me it was a WEAVE. A sewn-in weave. I was skeptical at first—like does that mean it sews into my SCALP?!?
    THE HORROR.
    It doesn’t—jsyk.
    She told me her friend did it for her, and it only cost like forty bucks. So I said if she could hook me up with this person, I would love it.
    Summer took me to her “salon,” which was actually this person’s apartment. She was really cool actually and did a great job on it.
    At first.
    Problem was I was so busy admiring my new gorg locks that I completely didn’t listen to any of the maintenance rules she told me.
    I JUST WANTED TO TAKE
SELFIES.
    After a few weeks, the tracks started to become SUPER noticeable, and my hair became super lifeless. It started looking like random strands of long hair in a gigantic nest (if that makes any sense). I tried everything to fix it. Different products, different tools—nothing worked. So finally I called Summer. She said I had to go back every three weeks to get it tightened. See, had I not been so focused on all the Instagramopportunities my new hair would grant me, I would have HEARD the girl tell me this.
    Well . . . problem was that now I was back in NYC and couldn’t get to London to get the girl to tighten my weave.
    So I had to deal with this nest-head of hair for another month.
    This is a life lesson, people. Listen up. Moral of the story: IF YOU GET SOMETHING SEWN INTO YOUR HEAD, PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE FOR THREE MINUTES TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS ON YOUR HEAD.
