Hair is one of the most frequent reasons for shower and sink clogs. Strands tangle, form nets, and capture soap scum, skin flakes, and product residue, creating compact masses that slow drainage.

Brushing before bathing reduces loose strands. Collect hair from brushes and shower strainers and place it in the trash. A simple drain screen plus periodic cleaning prevents heavy buildup and expensive clearing work.
