Splendid display this time with our southern hairstyles (10)
I believe the answer is:
pompadours
'hairstyles' is the definition.
(I know this)
'splendid display this time with our southern' is the wordplay.
'splendid display' becomes 'pomp' (I've seen this in another clue).
'this time' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'pomp'+'ad'+'our'+'s'='POMPADOURS'
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
