Highlights for skinhead with hair? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stresses

'highlights' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'skinhead with hair?' is the wordplay.
'skinhead' becomes 's' (head letter of 'skin').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hair?' becomes 'tresses' (tresses are locks of hair).
's'+'tresses'='STRESSES'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stresses that I've seen before include "Lays emphasis on" , "Puts pressure on" , "Pressures or tensions" .)
