Cathi on Sep 12, 2015I have very long hair, so when I'm conditioning it, I collect the loose hairs and dispose them in the garbage, that helps tremendously! Because hair in the drain is too nasty to deal with! Even my own! Also, baking soda and hot vinegar helps keep the gunk at bay!Helpful Reply

Linda Jowers on Sep 13, 2015When my hair was a little longer it would come out at the end of the shampoo - conditioning. I saw somewhere to slap you hand against the tile wall to deposit it there & prevent so much hair from going down the drain. SEE CATHI ABOVE - it worked & went to the trash can. But I will try the hot water trick & hot vinegar too.Helpful Reply
