You or somebody in your household has long hair. The hair wages a constant battle against the shower drain. If you’re tired of dealing with a slow draining shower, we’re here to help.

Even if you do your best to catch the hair and stick it to the side of the shower stall to dispose of after your shower, a bunch of hair always makes its way to the drain despite your best efforts. The following tools are inexpensive and will help you prevent and deal with the inevitable clogs.

When it comes to hair clogs, the single best thing you can do is to keep the hair from getting in the drain in the first place. The TubShroom’s design is excellent at both preventing the hair from getting into the drain and keeping the water draining while you’re using it.

The mushroom-like design helps the hair wrap around the base and the top keeps the drain open so you don’t have to empty it while you’re showering. There’s even a wide version for bigger shower-stall drains called, naturally, the ShowerShroom.
