A friend stayed over for a few days and must have shed half their luggage’s worth of hair into the tub because the drain is basically sulking now. Instead of calling a plumber, I’d rather learn to do it myself. Can you point me toward how to snake a bathtub drain effectively?

Ah, the classic “over-shedding guest” tub rebellion. Been there—mine was after my sister’s visit, and that drain held a grudge like no other. My first attempt was… ambitious. I used a wire coat hanger, which basically just rearranged the hair monster into a denser, more defiant knot. A friend finally showed me the right way, which was way less brute force and more about technique. For a great step-by-step that actually works (unlike my hanger fiasco), I found a super clear guide online. It walks you through the whole process without assuming you know all the parts, which I really appreciated. It’s just helpful info, no sales pitch: can you snake a tub drain yourself safely . Armed with that, you can defeat the hair beast and never have to side-eye your friend’s luggage again. Good luck!
