Love Your Hair Where It’s At

It’s easy to love your hair when it’s doing exactly what you want. When it’s growing, behaving, laying flat, or stretching just right. What’s harder, and more important, is learning to love your hair where it is, not where you hope it will be in a year’s time.


Hair journeys are often framed around fixing, correcting, or improving. Longer. Thicker. Healthier. And while growth and progress matter, they shouldn’t come at the cost of constant dissatisfaction. Hair care works best when it’s rooted in acceptance, not frustration.


Loving your hair where it is doesn’t mean settling. It means rooting out fear-based haircare where nothing is enough and dissatisfaction is guaranteed. Acceptance is love. Presence is love. Patience is love. Fighting your hair to look a certain way is fear, because the underlying issue is that you don’t believe it is beautiful or worthy of being seen as it, right now. If we took it a step further, perhaps you might not feel beautiful or worthy now. Is this getting too deep?


Let’s bring it back. Your hair today reflects many things from your past routines, your stress levels, your finances, your styling choices, the weather, your

health, and perhaps most telling of all, time. 


Your hair is the product of years of conditioning and various conditions. It didn’t arrive here overnight, and it won’t transform overnight either. And honestly, it shouldn’t have to.

When you accept your starting point, you make better decisions. You choose gentler styles. You moisturise instead of over-manipulating. You focus on care instead of comparison.



Acceptance creates space for consistency, and consistency is where progress lives.


This is especially important for textured hair. Shrinkage, uneven growth, and seasonal changes are not signs that something is wrong. There are signs that your hair is doing what it’s designed to do. Fighting those realities often leads to breakage, tension, and burnout.


Loving your hair where it is also changes how you speak about it. Less “my hair is a problem” and more “my hair needs support.” Less pressure. More patience. That shift matters more than most products ever will.


Healthy hair journeys aren’t built on constant dissatisfaction. They’re built on care that’s steady, informed, and kind. When you stop measuring your hair against an imagined future version, you start giving it what it actually needs right now.


This month, resist the urge to rush. Look at your hair as it is today and choose to care for it — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s yours. Progress grows best from that place.


Love MPL,

Your Hair Doctor
