Lock or plait (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tress

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lock' is the first definition.
(both can mean a piece of hair)

'plait' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for tress that I've seen before include "Obsolete support" , "Bit of hair" , "Rests (anag.)" , "is a bit of a shock" , "Switch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
