Treated hairily, in a fashion? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

styled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treated' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'hairily in a fashion?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fashion?' could be 'style' (fashion is a kind of style) and 'style' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for styled that I've seen before include "Fashioned" , "Designed, arranged" , "Designed; designated" , "Called; (hair) shaped" .)
