Fight involving female supporter with big hair (8)
I believe the answer is:
bouffant
'hair' is the definition.
(I know that bouffant is a type of coif)
'fight involving female supporter' is the wordplay.
'fight' becomes 'bout' (as in a bout in boxing).
'involving' indicates putting letters inside.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'supporter' becomes 'fan' (fan is a kind of supporter).
'f'+'fan'='ffan'
'bout' going around 'ffan' is 'BOUFFANT'.
'with big' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bouffant that I've seen before include "(Of hairstyle) backcombed and wide" , "Hairstyle with a puffy appearance" , "Puffed-out hairdo" , "(Of hair) standing out in a rounded shape" , "hair-raising style" .)
