Hairstyle? Complain about yokel getting trimmed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mohican

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

'hairstyle?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'complain about yokel getting trimmed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'about' could be 'ca' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'ca' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mohican that I've seen before include "Hawk-eye went with" , "Haircut with only a band of hair down the middle of the scalp" , "Hairstyle with a tall, spiky wall of hair, shaved either side" , "American Indian and a haircut" , "type of cut" .)
