I cut my own hair - my shower drain is blocked. How to unblock?
 
My hair is very thick . It grows very fast. I have to get it cut every
3-4 weeks...

I got a gizmo from Argos - about £25-30 - Remington home haircut thing
with ceramic blades.


Incredibly
- fast
- easy
- convenient
- saves time (travelling to barbers)

You put an attachment on the blade (depending on how long you want the
hair) - I choose the longest attachment (i like having longish hair)



But it is messy. I have hair all over my bathroom floor and I think my
shower drain is blocked (not totally blocked) but the water doesn't go
down as fast (anyone know how I can unblock it? should i just get a
plunger?)

Yes I do mine but there's not a lot of it. I still run the razor
(actually a beard trimmer) over all the baldy bits cos if I don't it
still feels unfinished. It's like "phantom hair" - gorwing ever thicker
into a great uncontrollable but invisible tangle.
Shower; to unbung sually you can lift off and pull out the drain bit or
bits, might need a twist also. Mines in 2 bits - a cover and an inner
bit which you have to twist and hook out.

Caustic soda would be much more effective on organic stuff such as
hair.

God no don't do that you could have major probs!
Caustic soda would do as a last resort but follow the instructions
carefully.

What consenting adults get up to in the home is their business, but is it
DIY?

As for having the words "balls" and "run a cutter set at 1mm over" in the
same sentence, oooo nasty!

It's a tough call. Caustic takes the fats out, which helps loosen, but
hair itself is remarkably resistant to caustic.

A strong dose of both, one after the other, is probably the best approach.

Acid can make a mockery of chrome though.

If you think that's nasty, you obviously haven't experienced a BC&S[x]

Instructions - caustic, don't ingest ?

Not something I'd thought of doing anyway
