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