Fix a lot with styling brush (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foxtail

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

'brush' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'fix a lot with styling' is the wordplay.
'fix a lot' can be anagrammed to 'FOXTAIL'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
