Holds hair (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locks

This clue is a double definition.

'holds' is the first definition.
(locking is a kind of holding)

'hair' is the second definition.
(locks can mean hair)

(Other definitions for locks that I've seen before include "Securely fixes" , "raising devices for sailors" , "Door fasteners" , "Secure fasteners for doors" , "Clusters of hair" .)

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