Ban hair-dressing in the country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bahrain

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

'the country' is the definition.
(Bahrain is an example)

'ban hair-dressing' is the wordplay.
'ban hair' anagrams to 'BAHRAIN'.
Though, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bahrain that I've seen before include "Gulf state" , "Island country in the Persian Gulf" , "Arab state" , "kingdom in Middle East" , "Gulf sheikhdom, capital Manama" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
