To make the mane Mike needed to break the loop to avoid extra geometry. He suggested to delete the edges and thus to make a shorter loop. Personally I went for a different approach. Loop stops at a pole (a vertex with more than 4 edges). So instead of deleting an edge, I added an extra one to the vertices by cutting the face with a knife tool (breaking the quad face into two trins). Later I could dissolve this edge and restore the order.
