If you are tired of dealing with clogged drains and standing water due to too much hair in your plumbing system then do something about it before it causes problems. Some suggestions include using drain covers or snake-like things to go down into the pipes and clean them out. The easiest way to prevent clogged drains from all that hair, though, is simply to cover your drain so that those nasty little hairs can't find their way into the pipe and soap scum are the usual culprits that cause clogs in drains. Seeing hair in the shower or bathtub drain is not unusual, nor is finding a mass of hair wrapped around the blades of an electric razor, but what can you do when you see long black hairs from your upstairs neighbor's bathroom flowing into your kitchen sink? The obvious answer would be to call your landlord and have he unclog the line, right? Wrong -- because he might charge you for it! So here's how to fix it yourself without spending money. Hair clogging in showers happens because so many people use their shower as their laundry room. As you shampoo, condition, shave, wash with body washes or shampoos - all that gunk goes down the drain along with some suds from the soap. Every time you take a bath, your hair will shed approximately 100 hairs (whether you think they're dead hair or not). That is a lot of hair in the drain. It's kind of gross to think about, but by covering your drain properly you won't have to worry about it being gross - because all that gunk will stay down
