Makes fast tresses (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locks

This clue is a double definition.

'makes fast' is the first definition.
(locking is a kind of making fast)

'tresses' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for locks that I've seen before include "Secures; person's hair" , "Secure fasteners for doors" , "Securely fixes" , "Tresses" , "raising devices for sailors" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
