Fastener for hair (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lock

This clue is a double definition.

'fastener' is the first definition.
(I know that lock is a type of fastener)

'for hair' is the second definition.
(a lock of hair)

(Other definitions for lock that I've seen before include "element in pack" , "part of 10 [CANAL]" , "Tress of hair" , "Mechanism to keep closed, door say" , "tuft of wool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
