Highlight son's hair (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stress

'highlight' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'son's hair' is the wordplay.
'hair' becomes 'tress' (tress is a kind of hair).
's'+'tress'='STRESS'

(Other definitions for stress that I've seen before include "Strain or accentuate" , "Cause of crack" , "Emphasise the pressure" , "Emphasize" , "'Strain, tension (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
