Hi Rod! A problem showing top style? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hairdo

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

'top style?' is the definition.
'hairdo' can be an answer for 'style?' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'top' bit.

'hi rod a problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'hi'+'rod'+'a'='hiroda'
'hiroda' anagrammed gives 'HAIRDO'.

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hairdo that I've seen before include "Pageboy maybe" , "The process of styling head growth" , "capital arrangement" , "Say, crew cut" , "Barnet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
