I've never had a tub drain like the ones in this house. I figured since we all have similar homes, maybe one of you can tell me how to clean hair out of the tub drain (or prevent it from going down in the first place). At my house in SLC, the hair just collected at the drain and was easy to clean out, but with this thing, the hair goes down the drain and is starting to make the tub drain slowly.

I tried unscrewing the little nobbin at the top of the drain, but that didn't seem to help me remove the hair that MUST be collecting down there.

Any of you long-timers have any hints for me. I Googled it, but even eHow let me down.
