Allow advice to person wanting hair curled? (6)
I believe the answer is:
permit
'allow' is the definition.
(I know that allow is a more specific form of allow)
'advice to person wanting hair curled?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'person' could be 'per' (abbreviation) and 'per' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mit' is a valid word 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 permit that I've seen before include "Allow, authorise" , "Allow; make possible" , "Official document giving authorisation" , "Officially allow" , "Allow, sanction" .)
