See above. I'm not sure how informal you can be with your professors but I imagine you know if they will be OK with you using "Hello" and "Warmest regards".

Thank you so much for your constructive comment. I do not want to be informal at all! Do you mean using "Hello" and "Warmest regards" makes my email informal? Could you please explain why and how I may fix this?

For a formal email, start with "Dear Professors" and end with "Yours" or "Yours sincerely". If it's going to a lot of different people, it would be impractical to name them all. If, however, it's only going to a small number, I'd use their surnames at the start. For example, "Dear Professors Brown, Smith, and Jones".
