'hair' is the definition.
(mane is a kind of hair)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for mane that I've seen before include "Lion or horse's 10 Across" , "Long flowing hair" , "Name for hair on horse's neck" , "Neck hair of an animal" , "Animal neck-hair" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
