mane

Neck hair, horse/lion

A mane is the long hair growing on the neck of certain animals, especially horses and male lions.

The word extends to thick, flowing human hair: She tossed her mane of red curls.

A lion's mane suggests majesty and power, which carries into figurative uses describing abundant hair.
