You, say, raise hair for a man (5)
I believe the answer is:
uriah
'a man' is the definition.
'you say raise hair' is the wordplay.
'you say' becomes 'u' ('you' as it sounds).
'raise' is a reversal indicator.
'hair' written backwards gives 'riah'.
'u'+'riah'='URIAH'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for uriah that I've seen before include "embezzling clerk" , "Biblical figure" , "'Umble --- Heep (Dickens)" , "12 [HITTITE] officer" , "King David had him killed in battle in order to marry his wife, Bathsheba" .)
