How movement and hair growth work
Step
You start each run with short hair. As you walk across platforms, your hair grows by one with every step you take. That growing length is the resource you spend on every gap, drop, and obstacle ahead.
- Start moving your hair grows by one with each step.
- Find a treadmill stepping onto one grows your hair much faster than walking normally.
- Reach the goal clearing the stage unlocks the next world and earns you a Win.

Throwing across gaps
TipsAiming your hair across a gap is the core skill of the game. A throw that misses drops you to the last checkpoint.
- Throw at an angle rather than straight — a diagonal toss carries your hair farther across wide gaps.
- Missing a throw sends you back to your last checkpoint, not to the start of the stage.
Zipline technique
StepAnchors are fixed points set above big drops, and hooking your hair onto one turns a dangerous fall into a controlled slide.
- Spot the anchor look for the fixed point above a big drop before you reach the edge.
- Hook your hair aim your throw at the anchor so your hair catches on it.
- Slide down once hooked, you descend along your own hair like a zipline rather than falling freely.
Worlds you will play through
SummaryThe game sends you through several themed environments.
- Icy Glacier a frozen world of ice platforms.
- Candyland a bright, sugary world built from sweets.
- Neon Tokyo a city stage lit by glowing neon lights.
- Crystal Caverns a cave setting filled with gleaming crystals.
Wins and hair unlocks
CheckWins are earned by reaching the goal of a stage. As your Win count climbs, new hair styles become available.
- Finish a stage you earn a Win for each one you clear.
- Collect enough Wins the game unlocks new hair styles as your total grows.
- Lava, Galaxy, and Lightning are among the hair types you can unlock.
Rebirth and the leaderboard
TipsRebirth is a reset that trades your current progress for a boost to how fast your hair grows. Players who Rebirth repeatedly can reach longer hair lengths than those who never reset.
- After Rebirth — hair grows faster throughout your run.
- Repeating Rebirth — each cycle adds more boost, pushing your potential hair length higher.
- The longest hair on the server is the top competitive target, reached through multiple Rebirths.

Common questions

You are sent back to the last checkpoint you passed, not to the beginning of the stage.
How do I grow my hair faster?
Step onto a treadmill inside the stage — it grows your hair at a much quicker rate than normal movement.
