coxcomb

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

'vain man' is the definition.
'coxcomb' can be an answer for 'man' (coxcomb is a kind of man). I'm not sure about the 'vain' bit.

'apple for one with tidy hair' is the wordplay.
'apple' becomes 'cox' (type of apple).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one with tidy hair' becomes 'comb' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cox'+'comb'='COXCOMB'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coxcomb that I've seen before include "Fool" , "Vain or conceited person" , "Fop - fleshy outgrowth on a cockerel's head" , "Red crest on the head of the domestic fowl" , "Conceited dandy" .)
