Fashion trend with gel covering one with curls (9)
I believe the answer is:
ringleted
'fashion trend with gel covering one with curls' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fashion trend with gel covering one' is the wordplay.
'fashion' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'covering' is an insertion indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'trend' after 'gel' is 'geltrend'.
'geltrend' anagrammed gives 'rngleted'.
'rngleted' going around 'i' is 'RINGLETED'.
