Hairstyle for a change (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afro

'hairstyle' is the definition.
(type of hairstyle)

'for a change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for'+'a'='fora'
'fora' is an anagram of 'AFRO'.

(Other definitions for afro that I've seen before include "Hair-style from Dark Continent" , "configuration of locks" , "Roundish hairstyle" , "One cut" , "Bushy hairstyle" .)
