How do I remove a clog from the drain?

I have a hair clog in my shower drain. I stopped using my shower and just started showering at my moms or my bf's house. However, she still shower and shaves there. The hair is just piling up and getting worse. How can I break up that clog without paying for a plumber because I can't afford it?

How do I remove a clog from the drain?
If it is really clogged up badly, I don't know whether this would work or not. The lady who assists with my housework introduced me to banking soda and vinegar. Her instructions are to put baking soda in the drain and pour vinegar over it. If that doesn't work, I am sure places like Home Depot and Lowe's have solutions for it. Good luck.
Reply:Pour half-a-bottle of clorox into it. It should dissolve whatever crap is clogging your pipes.
Reply:There is a product called Drano.


All you have to do is pour a cup full of Drano into your pipe and leave it for 10 mins or so then rinse out..
Reply:I used to be a plumber, there are many options. The best is to take the drain cover off, and put a hook in the end of a coathanger and stick it down... try to hook that hairball. Another option is to pour coca cola down there, the phosphoric acid will dissolve the calcium in the hair overnight like it dissolves your teeth and intestinal lining. Another great option if those don't work, oxy clean breaks down organics and may aid in breaking it up, draino will only shrink and harden it to the pipe walls, but extreme pressure may shove it along, air or water, you may try a garden hose on it. Boiling water from the stove will dissolve the grease from the soap that has bonded the hair, rubbing alcohol may also. Well if you still don't get it write mikefromspace at yahooooo
Reply:Caustic Soda will do the trick. Good luck.
