a good investment is a drain insert, which lets water in, and keeps hair out.
Take it from one who has thick,shiny, luxurious to-die-for hair.

Is there any such thing as a reverse drain insert? To back up captured crap? Other than Drano? Or rebuilding?

Inquiring non-goutridden toes want to know.

But, do we need to totally disassemble our pipes and such to declog the 20 years of shit that hangs there? If so, I'm willing to do it.

I can't use those. I have that plunger type of drain where the is a thing in the center that goes up a 1/4 inch or so, so that there is a small space where particles and hair can flow freely down, and not much can be done to stop it.

I use a zip it to get the hair and particles out every so often. Depending on what I products I use, I must do this as often as every 2 weeks or as infrequent as every 2 months.

They are gross. They get dirty and slimy and make me gag. I prefer drano.

My hair is also short enough that I can end up with most of what is going to fall out during shampooing and conditioning in my hand.

Every couple years, my bathroom sink finally rebels against all the toothpaste, and the drain slows to a crawl. There usta be about half a dozen of those enzyme drain cleaner brands on the market, but sadly, last week at Kroger's there were none. So I went to the organic supermarket (and was appalled at the number and variety of bottled water for sale) and bought some powdered gunk which finally did the job after a week of daily treatments. I figure once a week from now until we move out.

For future reference, I finally got the gunk in my bathroom sink drain cleared with ordinary baking soda and white vinegar. The same combo works like a charm to clean off the slime/bacteria culture that accumulates on the rubber gasket above the garbage disposal in the kitchen.

But I gave $9 for the fancy-schmancy gunk at Back to Eden! ((((whiiiiiiine))))

Kidding. Thanks for the tip. I have both those items in the pantry now.
