tress

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lock</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(both can mean a piece of hair)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tress that I've seen before include "Braid of hair" , "Long lock or plait of hair" , "Rests (anag.)" , "is a bit of a shock" , "Switch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Irish Independent, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
