Baking soda and vinegar can effectively dissolve hair in a plug hole. Pour ½ cup of baking soda into the drain followed by ½ cup of vinegar. Let it sit and fizz for about 30 minutes, then flush with hot water. For tougher clogs, using a drain snake tool can help physically remove hair. Alternatively, commercial drain cleaners specifically designed for hair are also available and can be very effective.
