Take a zip tie (cable tie) and snip small notches along the edges with scissors to create barbs. Push it down the drain, twist, and pull up. You’ll be horrified (and satisfied) by the "hair slug" you extract.

If the clog is deep, use a manual drum auger. Crank it down the pipe until you feel resistance, then retract. Note: Avoid using this on old, fragile metal pipes. Method 2: The Natural Unclogger (Baking Soda & Vinegar) This won’t work on a solid, years-old plug, but it is excellent for monthly maintenance and dissolving soap scum.

For $5–10, buy a plastic stick with barbs. Insert, pull, dispose. Do this monthly.

Don't let a slow shower ruin your morning. Go fish out that hair monster—you’ll sleep better knowing it’s gone.
