I believe the answer is:

combs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'searches thoroughly' is the first definition.
('comb' can be a synonym of 'search thoroughly')

'hairdressing tools' is the second definition.
'combs' can be an answer for 'tools' (comb is a kind of tool). I am unsure of the 'hairdressing' bit.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for combs that I've seen before include "Searches thoroughly" , "Crests" .)
