Crossword Genius

Teased for being unkempt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragged

I believe this is a double definition.

'teased' is the first definition.
('rag' can be a synonym of 'tease')

'being unkempt' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "Played practical jokes - in tatters" , "ridiculed" , "Threadbare" , "Shabby" , "Dagger could be tattered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
