Hilary Clinton and Anna Wintour via CNN
If you, like us, were so taken with Anna Wintour's endorsement of Hillary Clinton for the 2016 presidential election and didn't even notice her hair, not to worry.

· Good and bad news for beauty pros: 24 Seven released their first ever Salary and Job Market Report for the Beauty Industry, and even though compensation is up 5.5 percent, more than half of beauty professionals are having some trouble leaning in and are dissatisfied with how they're advancing in their careers.
