'Continental' hairstyle for a change! (4)

I believe the answer is:

afro

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

'continental hairstyle' is the definition.
'afro' can be an answer for 'hairstyle' (afro is a kind of hairstyle). I am not sure about the 'continental' bit.

'for a change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'for'+'a'='fora'
'fora' with letters rearranged gives 'AFRO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "configuration of locks" , "Roundish hairstyle" , "Shock description" , "Luxuriant (black) hairstyle" , "little Malian, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
