If you are like most homeowners, you have more than likely had issues with hair clogging your drains at one point or another. Dealing with drains that are clogged with hair is certainly inconvenient. For most people, this is a clog that forms over a long period of time as hair slowly starts to accumulate and turn to a slimy ball of goop. When this happens, there are several ways that you can work to get rid of the clog. The Original $49.95 Plumber is here to share our best techniques to help you get rid of any hair that finds its way into your drains.

What is the Fastest Way to Get Hair Out of a Drain?

There are many different ways that you can work to get rid of the hair that finds it way into your drains. Here are a few different things you can try using some household items.
– Baking Soda & Vinegar: If you haven’t discovered the magic that is baking soda and vinegar in your home, it’s time you do. These two things are fantastic household cleaners when they are mixed together. You squirt a small amount of dish soap down your drain, followed by a cup of white vinegar. After that, you can put a cup of baking soda down the drain. Give it five minutes to work its magic and then use a plunger to move the clog down the drain.
– Tweezers & Pliers: Using something narrow like tweezers or needle nose pliers can be helpful in grabbing any hair clogs in your drain to simply pull them out. You should definitely wear gloves during this process because the hair clogs can be pretty nasty.
– Drain Snake: If the two methods above aren’t working to remove the hair clog, you can purchase a drain snake from your local hardware store to help you grab it out of your drain. This can also be done with a wire hanger than you have bent in a position that will be able to hook onto any hair that is stuck in your drain as well.
– Remove the Drain: Another, more intense way to remove a hair clog, is to remove the drain completely. Sometimes, this might be the only way that you can get rid of the hair that is clogging your drains. You need to unscrew the p-trap and place a bucket beneath it to catch the water that is going to be pouring out when you remove it.
