If, for example, Angelica begins to tell you that Rodney (her boyfriend) heard xyz from Ben (your boyfriend), or begins rambling off suggestions about what you should do, based off what she heard….SHUT IT DOWN!

For in their willingness for either she or he to help you both rectify an issue in your relationship, or talk about their own, it could get messy, even forming strife in your overall great relationship.

Now, I’m not suggesting to keep your sister/girlfriend totally hanging, but there are a few key things you can do to help create DRAMA Control between you and the entire crew, keeping all relationships strong and in there lane!

VENT NOT! We all know it’s common in relationships of any kind to tend to share our issues or concerns with our significant others—-and usually our best friends too! In a case of this sort, choose not to speak negatively about your relationship. And if it’s necessary for you to distress, vent outside of the immediate “best friend” circle!

CREATE BOUNDARIES Recognize when being close is “too close.” Double-dating with your best friend couple is fine, but don’t make it a routine. Try expanding your social circle and sometimes keep date nights to just you and your beau.

FACE FORWARD Don’t turn your back…on your girlfriend that is. Make sure to find the same time you had to spend with her one-on-one, before prince-charming came along, so she won’t feel abandoned. Keep topics on things you two like to discuss that don’t always include your “man” —or hers!

And that right there Vixens are my two cents for “best friend” couples!

But let’s get rid of the stereotype, because truth be told, hair weave or hair extensions are universal! And someone choosing to rock their Indian Remy, doesn’t mean home girl doesn’t have plenty.

Women of other races and ethnicities “study” hair extensions as much as black women and pay the big bucks too! Celebs such as Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton both have their own line of clip-in extensions and in Simpson’s case hers promises to glamour you up in 5 minutes.

It simply comes down to the application, style, type of hair and purpose of its use. Whether it’s a sew-in, quick weave, glue-in, fusion technique, lacefront, wig or a clip-in — weave is universal and used by women of all races.

For some, it’s a convenient quick fix for managing a “stay-ready” look, for others it’s to add a glamour effect, and yes, it can be a solution to thinning hair or hair loss…which is just fine. All women have the right to feel good, look good, or change it up sometimes and do what works for them.

Plus, if you paid for it it’s yours right?

Now we could argue the back and forth on whether extensions are healthy for your own hair or not, but be advised Vixens — we are NOT the only chicks whippin’ “added” hair!
