Lock of hair (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tress

quiff

'lock of hair' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, the LA Times, The Mirror, The Independent, the USA Today, The Star Tribune, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, the Newsday, the Universal and The New York Times.
