Schwarzkopf Pro Unveils ‘Lived-In' Hair Colour Trend
Celebrating 125 years of global legacy and 25 years of innovation in India, Schwarzkopf Professional unveiled its first-ever Hair by Schwarzkopf Pro showcase at the St. Regis, Mumbai, with a transformative vision for the Indian salon industry. The event served as a convergence of global creative mastery and Indian artistic spirit, spotlighting the brand's signature new hair colour direction — Lived-In.
For the first time in India, Schwarzkopf Professional partnered with the renowned Sassoon Academy, bringing international legends Richard Ashforth and Matthew Carroll to the Indian stage. Their precision artistry underscored Schwarzkopf's global standard of excellence, merging timeless techniques with modern Indian aesthetics.
At the centre of the event was the debut of the Lived-In hair colour trend — a transformative approach to salon hair colour that blends contemporary tones with salon practicality. Built around a palette of Mocha, Toffee, and Biscoff, the trend reflects rich browns and golden hues that cater to Indian skin tones and diverse hair textures.
Schwarzkopf's India-based Hair Artist Kollektiv brought the trend to life with stunning interpretations of the new colour language. Vaishakhi Haria, Ryan D'Rozario, and Deepak Jalhan infused their creations with warmth, dimension, and effortless wearability, utilising IGORA's trusted formulas and techniques such as root melts, freehand highlighting, and soft gradients.
'The Lived-In trend is about colour that feels effortless yet impactful. It complements Indian skin, grows out beautifully, and blends style with simplicity,' shared Vaishakhi Haria, Meister, Hair Artist Kollektiv.
'Think soft golds over mocha bases—subtle, rich, and timeless,' added Ryan D'Rozario.
'I drew inspiration from India's golden light. With caramels and intuitive blending, it's a wearable elegance for all ages,' said Deepak Jalhan.
Mira Kapoor, Schwarzkopf Professional's Hair Muse, debuted the trend herself as showstopper for the evening — her Lived-In look created by Vaishakhi Haria, highlighting the versatility and understated glamour of this colour movement.
With its roots in salon-friendly artistry and intuitive maintenance, Lived-In colour is poised to become the new staple in Indian salons. As Schwarzkopf continues to pioneer trends with real-life wearability, Hair by Schwarzkopf Pro becomes more than a show — it's a defining moment in the evolution of Indian hairstyling.
