3. Use a plunger to unclog the drain. You will need a plunger to remove any remaining hair stuck in the drain. Start by covering the sink opening with a microfiber cloth. Pump the liquid vigorously with this tool and remove the cloth to remove any dirt stuck in the pipe.

If you want to clean the pipe deeper, you can use a drainage snake. To do this, push it towards the drain in vertical and then horizontal movements.

4. Support the drain to avoid clogging. Once the blockage has been removed, it is recommended that you keep the bathtub clean to avoid recurrence as much as possible.
