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 Star Tribune, The New York Times, The Times, The Sun, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sunday Times, The Mirror, the Newsday, the Universal, The Independent, the LA Times, the USA Today and the Sydney Morning Herald.
