Try using a Zip-It. Works great in the bathroom. Its kinda gross but it works. You would be surprised what comes out.

Drano and a plunger.
If it is really bad you may have to disconnect the P trap underneath the sink and clean it out. First try pouring a cup of baking soda down to the trap and then fill up with vinegar. Listen for the fizz and then let sit for a while so it can work its magic and then flush hot water down to make it move. If this does not work then disconnect and clean.
You can buy a snake drain cleaner that works with a drill at Home Depot. I bought the 50 foot one and it works great.
Diane,
If you have a pop up drain stopper that is attached by a rod and C-clip under your sink, you need to disassemble it so you can pull the stopper out and clean it. This is where most of the hair probably is.
These things are cool! https://amzn.to/2UiIdZ6
I use the zip it snake drain to get hair out of the drain. You don't have to take the drain plug out to use it.
