Secure bit of hair (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lock

I believe this is a double definition.

'secure' is the first definition.
(locking is a kind of securing)

'bit of hair' is the second definition.
(a lock is a bunch of hair)

(Other definitions for lock that I've seen before include "tuft of wool" , "Secure - position in rugby team" , "Mechanism to keep closed, door say" , "Tress; fasten" , "Canal feature - hair piece" .)
