Chic nurse's styling accessory (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrunchie

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

'accessory' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'chic nurse's styling' is the wordplay.
'styling' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'styled' mean this).
'chic'+'nurse'='chicnurse'
'chicnurse' anagrammed gives 'SCRUNCHIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrunchie that I've seen before include "hair fastener" , "Circular band for holding hair back" , "Elasticated hair grip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
