Way of styling hair that’s short and curly (7)
I believe the answer is:
pigtail
'way' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pigtail that I've seen before include "Plaited lock of hair" , "Braid of hair" , "Naturally curly" , "Porcine hair plait" , "Girl's hair style" .)
