Hair falling over the forehead (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
forelock
(Other definitions for forelock that I've seen before include "Hairy growth" , "It was touched in servility" , "Piece of hair (tugged in respect)" , "Tug this to convey obsequiousness" , "which droops between temples?" .)
