It’s doesn’t solve the problem, at least not long term. The solution is to remove the clog, usually via snake or or auger. Some drain cleaning chemicals can make the clog worse over time or damage pipes. Plumbers would rather be able to fix the problem right away and do it correctly

Turning hair into soap removes the clog. There only long term solution is to remove the source of hair, and that's usually illegal.

It may be illegal, but that doesn't stop nature from removing my hair from the source.

Lol. I made a comment like that on r/askmechanics and got banned. Some mods can't take humor.

It's a small rodent-like mammal that you push into a drain. They will naturally seek out the clog and eat it. Sometimes people cover them in cocaine and shove them in their butt.
