Crossword Genius

Lee's hay ruined hair (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyelash

'hair' is the definition.
(I know that eyelash is a type of hair)

'lee's hay ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lees'+'hay'='leeshay'
'leeshay' is an anagram of 'EYELASH'.

(Other definitions for eyelash that I've seen before include "Row of facial hairs" , "maybe one drops with a wink" , "Say heel (anag)" , "batter" , "Short facial hair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
