Mess up, as hair (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tousle

'mess up as hair' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tousle that I've seen before include "Treat roughly" , "Dishevel (hair)" , "Make (eg, hair) untidy" , "Make hair untidy by ruffling" , "Ruffle (the hair)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
