What did it mean when a man asks for or have a woman's lock of hair during Jane Austen's time?
It was a love token.There were two places in Sense and Sensibility where we see locks of hair. The first is where Willoughby takes a lock of Marianne's hair. Margaret sees this, and when she tells her mother and Elinor, they regard it as strong evidence that Marianne and Willoughby are secretly engaged. The other place is where Edward Dashwood is seen to have a ring with a lock of hair in it, both Marianne and Elinor assume it to be Elinor's because both (correctly) believe him to be in love with Elinor. Elinor is somewhat surprised, since she never gave him a lock of hair, so she assumes he secretly stole it. It is, of course, a gift from Lucy Steele, to whom he is secretly engaged, and from whom he wishes to be free.

In Sense and Sensibility why Colonel Brandon is a good match for Marianne?
I think it is because Elinor is Sense and she ends up making the passionate unconventional husband (the exiled Edward) and Marianne is sensibility and she ends up with the very practical choice in Colonel Brandon. I took it to mean the opposite, as 'sensibility' in Jane Austen's time meant romantic ideas, of which Marianne has plenty, and 'sense' refers to Elinor's practicality - she is the levelheaded one in the family, whereas Marianne sometimes lets her feelings run away with her. Colonel Brandon, like Marianne, has strong emotions and is not afraid of showing them, and he shares her love of the arts. Also, he truly loves her, which has to make him a good choice. In the novel, Mrs Jennings describes the Colonel as a good match for Marianne because "she's handsome and he's rich".
