Hot look wounded Bob perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haircut

'bob perhaps' is the definition.

'hot look wounded' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h'.
'look' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'wounded' becomes 'cut' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'air'+'cut'='HAIRCUT'

(Other definitions for haircut that I've seen before include "shock treatment" , "Mohican, possibly" , "that Damocles would have dreaded?" , "style for shock" , "Short back and sides?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
