Head lock (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tress

'head lock' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tress that I've seen before include "Long piece of hair" , "Rests (anag.)" , "Braid of hair" , "Long lock or plait of hair" , "Obsolete support" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
