Highlights for skinhead with hair? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stresses

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

'skinhead with hair?' is the wordplay.
'skinhead' becomes 's' (head letter of 'skin').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hair?' becomes 'tresses' (tresses are locks of hair).
's'+'tresses'='STRESSES'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stresses that I've seen before include "Lays emphasis on" , "Puts pressure on" , "Pressures or tensions" .)
