Pour boiling water down the drain. Then add a half cup of baking soda and let it sit for a minute. Pour a cup of vinegar and a cup of hot water down the drain. Cover loosely and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Pour another pot of boiling water down the drain to flush out the clog.
Go to your local hardware store plumbing section. They have an insert plastic tool, 2 ft drain unclogged sticks with little spurs to catch the hair etc. Have paper towels near by. 🥴

Try one of those thin plastic hair grabbers first which should take care of a good portion of the issue. Then sprinkle baking soda down the drain, pour in some vinegar, let it sit for a bit, then rinse with hot water.
If none of the above work, you may need something stronger. I have used the drain cleaner from the dollar store, it works very well. Follow directions on the bottle.
Hi Gloria: Get all of the water out of the tub, even use a turkey baster if you have one, to get the water out of the drain. Then, get a 1/2 box of baking soda and pour it down the drain. Then, pour about a cup of vinegar and then, really quickly, use a cloth to stop up the drain AND the over flow opening, which shouldl be where the toggle for opening and closing the drain is. Hold this for a few minutes as it will fuzz up like mad. Then, when the fuzzing stops, pour a lot of hot water down the drain. DON'T DO THIS IF YOU HAVE USED ANYTHING LIKE DRAINO AS IT CAN FUZZ UP INTO YOUR FACE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS.
