F.A.S.T. Haircare, Rewind It 10 and Cloud Haircare Earn Six National Beauty Honors Amid Major Retail Expansion and Portfolio Growth

MIAMI, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — It’s a 10® Enterprises, the independently owned beauty company founded by entrepreneur, stylist and product visionary Carolyn Aronson, is celebrating six wins in the SheFinds 2026 Best New Beauty Awards, with products from three of its growing haircare brands, F.A.S.T. Haircare, Rewind It 10, and Cloud Haircare, recognized among the year’s standout beauty launches.

The recognition marks another milestone in a defining year for Carolyn Aronson and It’s a 10 Enterprises, demonstrating that the entrepreneur behind one of professional haircare’s most recognizable brands is building far beyond a single success story.

Twenty years after founding It’s a 10® Haircare and creating the iconic Miracle Leave-In, Aronson has expanded her vision into a diversified portfolio of brands addressing distinct consumer needs, price points and generations. The six SheFinds wins across three separate brands underscore the momentum of that strategy and Aronson’s evolution from the founder of a hero-product-driven haircare brand into the architect of a growing beauty empire.

The 2026 SheFinds Best New Beauty Award winners from the It’s a 10® Enterprises portfolio include:

F.A.S.T. Maximum Length Duo KitRewind It 10 Progressive Greyaway ShampooCloud Haircare Glow ShampooCloud Haircare Glow ConditionerCloud Haircare Glow Texture SprayCloud Haircare Glow Texture Crème

The SheFinds editorial team selected the winners after spending the past year testing hundreds of new beauty launches, innovations and emerging favorites to identify products that stood out for performance.

“Seeing three completely different brands within our portfolio recognized at the same time is incredibly meaningful because it validates what we’ve been building,” said Carolyn Aronson, Founder, CEO and sole owner of It’s a 10® Enterprises. “I’m incredibly proud of what It’s a 10® Haircare has become over the past 20 years, but I’ve never viewed myself as a one-brand entrepreneur. I’ve always believed that great brands begin by identifying what the consumer is missing and creating products that solve real problems. It’s a 10® started with that philosophy, and every brand we’ve built since follows the same principle. Cloud, F.A.S.T. and Rewind It 10 each have a distinct reason to exist and a different consumer to serve, and seeing all three recognized at this level tells me we’re doing exactly what we set out to do.”

The awards arrive amid significant momentum across the It’s a 10® Enterprises portfolio.

F.A.S.T. Haircare, the science-backed hair growth brand built around clinically proven technology, has undergone a significant transformation since being acquired by It’s a 10® Enterprises. With virtually no U.S. retail distribution at the time of acquisition, the brand has since been reimagined and rebranded under Aronson’s leadership, expanding into more than 5,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, Sally Beauty, JCPenney and H-E-B, with additional availability through Amazon. Today, F.A.S.T. Haircare is available in 40 countries, demonstrating the brand’s evolution from an acquisition with limited U.S. presence into a rapidly growing global haircare business.Rewind It 10, founded in partnership with Fat Joe, is disrupting the men’s grooming category through innovation, high-profile cultural partnerships and a rapidly expanding retail presence. Now available in more than 7,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, H-E-B, Stop & Shop and Amazon, the brand continues to build significant momentum across the U.S. Earlier this year, Rewind It 10 teamed with Global Brand Ambassador DJ Khaled to introduce its Progressive Greyaway Shampoo, a breakthrough innovation designed to gradually blend grey hair and restore natural-looking color through a simple shampoo routine. That same innovation has now earned recognition in the SheFinds 2026 Best New Beauty Awards.Cloud Haircare, created to bring high-performance haircare to a new generation at an accessible price point, has experienced rapid national growth since entering the mass market in 2025. Building on its nationwide Walmart presence, Cloud has expanded its footprint to more than 7,000 retail locations nationwide across CVS, H-E-B, Giant Eagle, Sally Beauty and JCPenney, with additional availability on Amazon, significantly broadening its reach across mass, specialty and e-commerce channels.

The portfolio-wide recognition comes during a landmark year for the company. Earlier this year, Inc. named Carolyn Aronson to its 2026 Female Founders 500, recognizing the entrepreneurs shaping the future of their industries through innovation, growth and leadership. At the same time, the company’s flagship It’s a 10® Haircare is celebrating its 20th anniversary and named Khloé Kardashian its first-ever Global Brand Ambassador, pairing one of beauty’s most recognizable personalities with an upcoming comprehensive visual evolution designed to introduce the heritage brand to a new generation while preserving the professional formulas that built its reputation.

What began two decades ago with Aronson behind the salon chair and a belief that one exceptional product could simplify a woman’s hair routine has evolved into something considerably larger: a portfolio of brands spanning professional haircare, accessible beauty, hair growth, men’s grooming and emerging innovation. The six SheFinds wins further establish It’s a 10® Enterprises as an emerging multi-brand force in beauty, with Aronson continuing to apply the product development expertise, entrepreneurial instincts and consumer-first philosophy behind It’s a 10® Haircare to an increasingly diverse portfolio.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE), operator of LendingTree.com, the nation’s leading online financial services marketplace, today announces their ChatGPT plug-in, enabling consumers to explore current mortgage and refinance rates through a natural conversation in ChatGPT, bringing the first step of mortgage shopping into one of the world’s fastest-growing AI experiences.

Consumers can share details like estimated credit score, state, and loan amount while conversing with the plug-in to instantly see how those factors can affect available rates. When they’re ready, they can seamlessly continue to LendingTree.com to compare personalized offers from LendingTree’s network of lenders.

Comparing mortgage offers is one of the most effective ways consumers can save money when buying a home. A recent LendingTree analysis found that borrowers who shop around could save an average of $62,572 over the life of a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. The LendingTree ChatGPT app helps consumers take that important first step.

By making it easier to compare options from the very beginning of the homebuying journey, we’re helping consumers make more confident borrowing decisions.”

To access the LendingTree ChatGPT plug-in, consumers can visit LendingTree’s page in the plug-in directory and click “Install”. Once installed, users can ask about current mortgage and refinance rates directly within ChatGPT and before continuing to LendingTree.com for personalized offers.

New Report Quantifies Multimillion-Dollar Economic and Innovation Impact of Fiber Broadband in New Mexico

Published

on

By

Comprehensive study reveals surging internet speeds, $77 million in added home values, job creation & the rise of the nation’s first open-access quantum network

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ezee Fiber has released a comprehensive economic study, “Expanding Opportunities in the Land of Enchantment with Glass: New Mexico and Fiber.” The report integrates national economic frameworks with local insights to showcase how the rapid expansion of fiber-optic infrastructure is reshaping New Mexico’s economy, housing markets, public safety systems, and technology ecosystems.

“This independent report demonstrates that our multi-million-dollar investment in New Mexico is a direct investment in the long-term prosperity of New Mexico,” said Carlos Rosas, SVP and General Manager for Ezee Fiber. “We are building the foundational infrastructure that drives local job growth, boosts real estate values, and fosters local tech innovation. Beyond the infrastructure we are bringing to New Mexico, we are deeply committed to being a trusted community partner, hiring locally, and delivering the world-class, multi-gigabit connectivity that New Mexicans deserve to live, work, and thrive.” 

The report shows that New Mexico has made significant strides in closing the digital divide. When the New Mexico Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE) was established in 2022, only 72% of the state had high-speed internet access. By early 2026, that number surged to 90% (connecting approximately 770,000 locations), with state projections targeting 94% by the end of 2026 on a trajectory toward 100% universal coverage.

Key Findings from the Report:

Fast Internet Speeds: Widespread commercial deployments have dramatically accelerated regional performance. Between 2022 and 2025, median download speeds more than doubled in Albuquerque (from 142 Mbps to over 285 Mbps) and in Santa Fe (from 100 Mbps to over 225 Mbps).A Multimillion-Dollar “Fiber Premium” for Homeowners: The presence of high-speed fiber added an aggregate $51.2 million in housing value to sold single-family homes in Albuquerque and $25.9 million in Santa Fe between 2020 and 2025. Projecting forward, expanding fiber to 90% coverage by 2029 could unlock up to $243 million and $105 million in added real estate value for those cities, respectively.Measurable Job Growth: Fiber infrastructure accounted for an estimated 528 jobs gained in Albuquerque and 133 jobs in Santa Fe between 2021 and 2024. Reaching 90% population deployment by 2029 is projected to generate 3,679 new jobs in Albuquerque and 615 in Santa Fe.Fueling Digital Microbusinesses: According to GoDaddy venture data, digital microbusinesses (fewer than 10 employees) in both cities have dramatically increased their health and activity index, outperforming regional peer cities and directly boosting median household incomes.Pioneering the Quantum Frontier: Utilizing commercial fiber networks, ABQ-Net went live in early 2026 in Albuquerque as the United States’ very first open-access, entanglement-based quantum network facility. It serves as a global testing ground for startups and researchers to validate next-generation cybersecurity and defense applications.Smart Cities and Public Safety: Albuquerque is actively leveraging fiber to power edge AI systems, smart lighting, and sound detection for immediate police dispatch. Furthermore, thermal detection sensors connected via fiber along the Paseo del Bosque multi-use trail successfully identified three active outdoor fires within months of deployment, providing instant alerts to first responders.

“If we are serious about growing our economy, we must invest in fiber. It powers telehealth, expands access to education, and opens the door to good jobs, especially in the communities that need it most,” noted Alison Riley, Vice President of Government Relations & Policy for the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce.

“Reliable internet access impacts workforce development, entrepreneurship, education, health, quality of life; it checks all those things,” added Bridget Dixson, President and CEO of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce. “It’s one of the things that’s probably the most important, not just to Santa Fe, but to our entire state.”

Beyond local municipal benefits, the report highlights fiber as the foundational baseline for New Mexico’s powerhouse federal and private industries, including Intel’s advanced $17 billion semiconductor packaging footprint in Rio Rancho, Rocket Lab’s aerospace solar array plant in Albuquerque, Meta’s $3.3 billion Los Lunas data center complex, and PNM’s evolving renewable smart grid technology.
