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.

Ed Sheeran's jam with Indian percussionist goes viral; ‘Shape of You' gets a ‘ghatam' twist
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's latest track Sapphire – with Indian musical sensation Arijit Singh – that dropped on June 6, has become a monster hit. Instagram alone has over 700K Reels made on the song, and on YouTube, the song has over 5.8 million views already. Now, an Instagram Reel posted by percussionist Ganesh Murali Iyer, showing a jamming session with Sheeran, with both of them playing the ghatam, has gone viral with nearly a million views. Ghatam is a traditional South Indian clay percussion instrument, known for its unique earthy tones. In the video, Iyer begins playing the rhythm of Sheeran's hit song Shape Of You, and the English singer soon joins in, trying his hand at the clay instrument. Soon, viewers are treated to a ghatam-backed cover of the song, sung by Sheeran himself. Captioning the post, Iyer wrote, 'Ed and me playing ghatam from our Mumbai jam. This just happened before we jammed sapphire. This is also one of the moments that actually led to it….' Iyer also wrote, 'These are 2 ghatams in C# and D# Ig. I gifted the C# ghatam to Ed. This is not REHEARSED I just gave the instrument to him and we both vibed and chilled. It was so much fun recording for him at Goa. Such a spontaneous musician.' Watch the video here: A post shared by Ganesh Murali Iyer (@ganeshmuraliiyer) Since Iyer mentioned that this happened just before jamming Sapphire, we watched the music video of the song – with far too many intercuts – closely, and found a sequence from the exact day. Here it is: In the background is Ganesh Murali Iyer, the ghatams and mics. In the comments section of the Reel, Iyer explained what a ghatam is. He wrote, 'The Ghatam is a percussion instrument used in various repertoires across the Indian subcontinent, especially in Southern India . Its variant called ghara in Punjab and Magda in Rajasthan . It is made mainly of clay, baked with brass or copper filings with a small amount of iron filings. It represents the pancha Maha bhoota's according to Vedic tradition ( five elements of nature) ie Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jala), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Space or Ether (Akasha).' Many Instagram users reacted to the post. One said, 'Bro got the entire country together with just 1 song.' Another user commented, 'True devotees of art together! What a moment.' A third user wrote, 'From class benches to with ed sheeran on ghatam we've seen it all!!' Watch Sheeran's Sapphire here: The Sapphire music video is also making headlines as it features Indian cinema giant Shah Rukh Khan in a one-second cameo. Khan appears between 42nd and 43rd seconds, for those who are keen.

Exclusive- Anuja Sathe gets candid about the preparations behind essaying Karpura Devi in Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan
Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, television's grand historical epic, continues to captivate audiences with tremendous storytelling, grand visuals, and strong performances. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now , who plays the character of Karpura Devi, exclusively shared with Times Of India TV what went behind preparing for the role. The actress also shared her excitement about working with the same team again after . Anuja on working with the team again Very, very exciting because the last show that I did on TV was with the same production house, and now I'm again coming back on TV with the same production itself. So, it's very exciting. It's a great feeling because I know everybody, I've worked with them, and I know how they mount their historical shows. They are specialised, we can say, in making historicals and everything. So, it's great. It's great to be back. And back with the people that I already worked with. What went behind carving a role like Kapura Devi? So, basically, this part of the culture I was completely unaware of. Culture, history and reading up about it and knowing who was involved in this particular region and how the kings ruled and what the history was that went behind it and all of that. That was very new to me. Also, the language part where we have kept the nuances of a little bit of Marwadi and a combination of Hindi. Of course, it's more of Hindi and very little Marwadi is used. But I think that accent and those nuances matter a lot. So, I had to have an understanding of how those words are spoken, what the accent is and how these things are said. Because in the meantime, I had done lots of different work, where it was modern Hindi, English mix, English as we call it. And now going back to the roots, the pure Hindi-based with little Marwadi was a little tough part for me in the beginning. So, I sat with the creatives, and I read the script. We had episodes in our hands already. So, I sat with them so that they could correct me at that given point in time and tell me how it's pronounced. These kinds of preparations went on into putting something into this character. Keep reading this space for more updates.

DYK This Salman Khan's Co-Star Almost Left Bollywood?
Last Updated: Born in Jodhpur, Chitrangda Singh did her schooling in Meerut and completed her graduation from Delhi. The Bollywood industry is considered highly competitive as actors often face intense pressure to secure roles, get visibility, navigate the numbers game of the box office and gain critical acclaim. For many, it is seen as cut-throat with newcomers required to prove themselves immediately and maybe encountering difficulties in gaining a second chance. Despite these challenges, an outsider, who made her Bollywood debut in 2005, almost left the industry, said no to intimate scenes and still managed to make a mark for herself in the Hindi film industry. We are talking about Chitrangda Singh. Born in Jodhpur, Chitrangda did her schooling in Meerut and completed her graduation from Delhi. Her journey in showbiz started with modelling and later on, she transitioned into films. Chitrangda made her acting debut in 2005 with the film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, co-starring Kay Kay Menon and Shiney Ahuja. In the same year, she appeared in another thriller film, Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow. After that, there was no looking back for her and she starred in a number of big-budget projects like Desi Boyz, with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, I Me Aur Main, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Bazaar, Khel Khel Mein and others. But did you know there was a time when Chitrangda almost left the film industry after she felt betrayed and cheated? Speaking about stepping away from Kushan Nandy's Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, in one of her interviews, she said that the director compelled her to do intimate scenes. She also mentioned that despite being present on the set, Nawazuddin Siddiqui remained quiet. However, Nandy did not agree. Denying the charges, he stated that Chitrangda had problems with the script. She recently grabbed the audience's attention with her performance in the killer-comedy Housefull 5. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the film is a hit and has collected more than Rs 170 crore at the domestic box office. Chitrangda will now be sharing screen space with superstar Salman Khan in the upcoming untitled project, reportedly based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops in 2020. This marks the actress' first on-screen collaboration with Salman. In the film, Salman will reportedly portray Colonel B. Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment, who led Indian troops during the Galwan conflict. First Published:
