Essential Looks 2024: India Edition showcases the trends, techniques and styles for the season in the city of Mumbai.
Schwarzkopf Professional brings Essential Looks 2024 to India for a second edition. A flagship property of the brand, it delivers key trends in the world of hair.
Hair Artist Kollektive Meisters Vaishakhi Haria, Deepak Jalhan and Ryan D'Rozario showcase the trends, colours, techniques and styles for the season in Mumbai.
Essential Looks is a trend-based educational tool that curates the latest movement in hair and fashion. The curtain raiser for this flagship show unravels the three global trends - The Optimists, New Realities and Daring Crowds. These Essential Trends lead the style for 2024 - from the catwalk to the High Street.
Hairdressers are at the centre of everything we do at Schwarzkopf Professional. Through Essential Looks, we aim to nurture a community that drives, inspires and holds space for hairdressers to evolve and emerge as Experts of Tomorrow.
The Optimists brings to life the sunny disposition of those who paint positivity on a canvas of challenges with bouncy curls, playful colours and nostalgic fashion.
New Realities celebrates the eccentricity of an era where digitalism meets the physical world with avant-garde cuts, experimental colours, and technology-inspired aesthetics.
Finally we have the Daring Crowd, that knock down conventionality with bold cuts and brave colours, and pair them with a rebellious sense of style.
The Optimists are the people who live life to the fullest. Thriving on freedom and making the best of whatever it throws at them.
Navigating our New Realities are the people who embrace the modern world as quickly as it changes and live in the space between reality and fiction: the phygital.
The Daring Crowd are the trendsetters, the people who aren’t afraid to embrace who they really are and show the world.

“Free-spirited, passionate and full of life - that’s what Optimists are. This is a world made of nostalgic patterns, colours and silhouettes that celebrates nature & life.
I love how Schwarzkopf Professional has always pushed creative boundaries and let the best trends take centre stage. Essential Looks 2024 is just uplifting this culture to its supreme.”
Deepak Jalhan (@deepakjalhan)
“The Daring Crowd aesthetic is all about being comfortable while still making a statement. It’s natural, easygoing and still stands true to its words.
Essential Looks 2024 has given me a platform where I have played with imagination and inspiration to the fullest.”
Ryan D’Rozario (@ryandrozario)
“New Realities is dynamic and out of the box. This year, Essential Looks is all about keeping the old and weary behind and discovering yourself in a new light.
Together, we’ve pushed the boundaries of creativity to curate personalities that are giving next-gen style icon vibes.”
