And with a blink of an eye I am saying hello to 46 and rounding up to 50 😁🎉

This year has been a humbling one. It has brought its fair share of challenges, highs and lows, but also moments of growth and perspective ✨

Midlife is an interesting but tough chapter, especially as women. We wear so many hats and spin so many plates, often all at once—careers, business ventures, family, raising children, supporting ageing parents, navigating through menopause, and somehow trying to carve out space for yourself along the way. Some days it genuinely feels overwhelming and impossible, but I also think we often forget to give ourselves a pat on the back for showing up and keeping going 👊

For me, with every passing year, gratitude grows louder than everything else. I am deeply grateful for my health, for a body that is pain-free (most days 😂) and allows me the freedom to move, dance, train, and simply live. I am truly blessed to have movement as one of my greatest gifts.

I am equally grateful for the incredible people who surround me—my family, friends, colleagues, and the communities I have found through dance, calisthenics and Tai Chi. Each of you has shaped me in ways big and small, and I wouldn't be who I am today without you. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏❣️

When this patient underwent chemotherapy as a teenager, she lost all of her hair. Some regrowth occurred naturally once treatment finished, but it never fully returned.

For years she continued to rely on a wig, which was aggravating scalp dermatitis, adding another layer of difficulty to an already challenging journey.

When she came to see me several years later, her question was simple: could anything more be done?
The answer was never going to be quick or straightforward.

For anyone who thinks hair regrowth is easy, these photos tell a different story. Hair restoration requires patience, persistence, realistic expectations and, most importantly, an individualised approach in more medically complex cases. As dermatologists, we see hair loss in many different contexts, but it is particularly important where treatment plans must be carefully tailored to specific medical circumstances. It isn't a matter of trying any old growth serum and hoping for the best.

In her case, we first had to optimise scalp health with prescription topicals before embarking on a long-term treatment plan involving oral medications and Tricopat.

From the outset, having honest conversations about what was and wasn't achievable was essential. False hope helps nobody. Some areas may never fully recover because of the lasting effects of chemotherapy, but we are both incredibly happy with the progress she has made so far. 🙌

Many of my patients live with chronic forms of hair loss that require ongoing maintenance. Some have been under my care for many years. Together we've navigated difficult diagnoses, life events, career changes, family milestones and, more recently, exchanged peri-menopause tips! Over time, these relationships become about so much more than skin and hair. 💞

A huge part of being a doctor is supporting people through some of the most challenging and vulnerable periods of their lives. It is a privilege I never take for granted.

The work can be hard and emotional, but moments like this make it incredibly rewarding ✨

ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

I am truly honoured to accept the role as the next President of the Institute of Trichologists (IOT) ☺️

The IOT is a progressive, forward-thinking organisation, and I’m proud to support its continued work in raising standards, strengthening professional recognition, and promoting excellence in trichology ✅

As a practising Consultant Dermatologist who has looked after patients with hair loss and scalp issues for over 16 years, I have seen first-hand how the landscape has evolved for patients, physicians, trichologists, and allied professionals.

While progress has been made, it’s clear there is still a need for more integrated pathways across the hair and scalp industry. Historically, many of us have worked in parallel rather than together — a model that underserves many people living with hair and scalp conditions.

Today, medicine and wellness are more closely aligned than ever before, and trichology sits at this unique and important intersection. As President of the IOT, I am excited to work with a dynamic and dedicated community of trichologists to help evolve the profession, strengthen collaboration across disciplines, streamline the patient journey, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for those we support, as we continue to shape the future of trichology together. 🤝

Sharon ❤️

And so my 45th lap around the Sun starts today ✨. I can't say the last year has been easy for many reasons, but what it does reinforce is the importance of being in the present - because ultimately that is all that we truly have ❤️.

And when I do pause and take the time to see what and who is around me, I feel incredibly loved and lucky in life 🙏☺️

This year will be stressful - no doubt. A project I have poured my heart and soul into over the last 18+ months will hopefully come to fruition and I can't wait to share more 😍 but for now it's more birthday cuddles and kisses with my nearest and dearest ☺️🎊🎉

Earlier in the week Vichy held their first Scalp & Hair Academy webinar on seborrhoeic dermatitis (the scalp condition behind dandruff). The above infographic summarises the key take aways which mirror my own experience and practice in treating this condition.

👉 In my clinic I recommend Vichy Dercos DS shampoo as first line treatment for dandruff regardless of severity.

👉 It's multimodal action in rebalancing the microbiome, supporting the skin barrier and correcting sebum composition on the scalp quickly relieves symptoms of itching and scaling.

👉 Because of it's effectiveness and how non-medicated it feels to use, it has been the one product that has made the biggest difference in preventing relapses.

It’s good to know that other international experts are also reporting the same positive experience with their patients using Dercos DS 💚

March highlight 🎉

I actually don't remember the last time I was in any sort of sporting competition (U11's netball seems to ring a bell...🤔) but earlier in the month I took part in the calisthenics pull and dip challenge hosted by .kulture .e1 and sponsored by

It was a real privilege to participate alongside and watch incredible athletes at this event. Never in a million years would I have expected to be taking part in something like this (definitely not at 44 lol), let alone getting a new PB and being placed 4th out of top 5 women in the challenge. It was a real pinch me moment ✨

I started calisthenics in Jan 2024 with zero expectations other than wanting to get just one bodyweight pull up and to feel a bit stronger in the shoulders having had rotator cuff injuries in both several years ago.

What I didn't realise was just how addictive calisthenics is, particularly when you start to see and feel a stronger version of yourself. What started as 1 class a week quickly escalated to 3-4. There is always something more you can do in cali - more reps, weighted reps, more advanced versions of skills...there is always the next level to challenge yourself with and that is what I love about it. I was pretty hooked a while ago, but in case there was any doubt over my obsession I have now been there, done it, got the T shirt and am most definitely here to stay to do a lot more of it 🤗

I have had quite a few people ask me recently, but I would encourage anyone thinking about starting cali to just go for it! Our bodies are capable of incredible things and cali makes you realise that pretty quickly.
If you are a bit apprehensive about starting, you couldn't be in better hands or warmer hearts than with the amazing team .kulture 💝

Thank you to my newly adopted 2nd home .e1 and all the wonderful teachers for an epic year of cali ❤️
