Spur to win in hairdressing contest!? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcrop

I believe this is a double definition.

'spur' is the first definition.

'win in hairdressing contest?' is the second definition.
(cryptic - crop better than everyone else)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for outcrop that I've seen before include "Jutting stone" , "Rock formation at the earth's surface" , "rock appearance" , "Rock standing proud" , "Rocks appearing at the surface" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
