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’m super lazy. I started losing my hair at age 14 and it was pretty much all over by 30. I didn’t give in and start shaving the fringes until 40-something

        I asked a guy sitting behind me in training if it was noticeable, because I couldn’t really tell in the mirror since it was so far back. He said yes, so there it went. I decided to take possession of who I was and get rid of it all, no sense in lying about it or covering it up. Before then I personally buzzed it to a quarter inch.
