I feel like an idiot for not knowing about these.

Every 2-3 months I have to snake out our shower drain with a 25’ snake. Giant PITA.

After some web searches, I stumbled across these hair trap devices. They come in both external and internal configurations. Many different types to choose from.

I purchased an internal one, installed it, and am going to give it a try. In theory I can just pop it out and clean it instead of snaking the pipes. Folks tell me they work well. If this one doesn’t work I’ll try another type. They are fairly inexpensive.

    I know I’m in a tiny minority, but I wish I had gone bald. I hate getting haircuts and I just shave it all off when it gets unmanageable.

      Look up st baldricks and see if they do events in your area. It’s shave your head for childhood cancer research and you can donate the hair too. I do it once a year and just let my hair grow in between shaves.

        Thanks. I will definitely do that, but my hair is crazy. I have to shave like once every 3 months.

          They might do events more often too! I always do it with a big group and we do it once a year.

      I’m with you. If there weren’t health and social complications, I’d be wishing for full-blown alopecia.
