Brain Out 2 Level 165
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 165 asks you to "Save her messy hair!". A girl with long reddish hair stands in a bathroom looking unhappy. On the counter there is a spray bottle, a lidded basket box, and a cup holding a wide-tooth comb and a pair of scissors. The solution is not to cut her hair — it is to wet it and comb it smooth. You spray water onto her hair with the spray bottle and then run the comb through it, which tames the mess into neat, glossy hair. The solved state shows the girl smiling with neat shiny hair and sparkles around her.

Step-by-Step Solution
- Look at the tools. The counter has a spray bottle on the left, a comb and scissors in the cup on the right, and a lidded basket in the middle. The girl's hair is tangled and unruly, sticking out in all directions.
- Do not reach for the scissors. Cutting her hair is the obvious but wrong response — she does not want a haircut, she wants her messy hair fixed. Resist the temptation to snip.
- Wet her hair with the spray bottle. Drag the spray bottle over to her hair and spray it so the hair becomes damp (water droplets appear on the strands). The wetting step is essential; dry hair will not comb smooth.
- Comb it smooth. Take the wide-tooth comb and run it through her hair from top to bottom. The damp hair straightens out under the comb and falls into place.
- Finish. Once the hair is wet and combed, it settles into smooth, glossy hair with sparkles, the girl smiles, and the text reads "Or do you have a way!".
Strategy & Reasoning
The level plays on the false assumption that "messy hair" means you should cut it. The scissors are placed prominently as a bait, but snipping hair is not what solves the problem — the girl wants the messiness fixed, not her hair shortened.
Real-life common sense says a tangled head of hair is tamed by wetting it and combing it, and that is exactly the two-tool solution shown: the spray bottle wets the strands, then the comb smooths them. The basket box and the scissors are distractions. The clever "way" the hint refers to is the wet-and-comb method rather than the more dramatic cut. The order also matters: wet first, comb second, because a comb dragged through dry tangled hair just snags.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: using the scissors. The scissors look like the obvious tool, but cutting her hair is wrong. She wants it smoothed, not shortened.
- Mistake: combing dry hair. A dry tangle does not smooth out; you must spray water on the hair first, then comb.
- Mistake: opening the basket. The lidded box in the middle is not hiding any special tool; the spray bottle and the comb on the counter already do the job.
- Hint: If combing does nothing, you probably skipped spraying the water first.
