A little blonde, Anne has returned dyed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hennaed

'dyed' is the definition.
('hennaed' can be similar in meaning to 'dyed')

'a little blonde anne has returned' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'returned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'deanneh' is hidden in the letters of 'blonde anne has'.
'deanneh' backwards is 'HENNAED'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
