Ditch the toothbrush, use a drain zipper.

Every home needs a Zip-It in every bathroom.

Zip-It

• a decent quality ladder. Fiberglass and rated for 250lb or more
  
• A tool bag to put your tools in.
  
• utility knife.
  
• a hammer that feels good in your hand. 16oz. claw hammer would be fine for most tasks Estwing makes great hammers.
  
• (Trim, doors, painting) A GOOD FUCKING PAINTBRUSH. See if you can borrow a compressor and pin nailer for attaching trim.
  
• Do you own a plunger?
  
• How about something to get the wife's hair out of the drain. Its a routine procedure around here.
  
• Stock up on a few of the Horrible Freight free LED flashlights as you see coupons for them. They're handy when the power goes out. I probably have half a dozen scattered in useful places around the house.
  
  
  Buy most of the tools as you need them. If its something you'd only use for one project save your money and borrow the tool. Please return the tool promptly and clean.

For serious, these things make life with long hair so much easier. You can find them in most hardware stores and plumbing sections for about $2 IRL - https://www.amazon.com/Cobra-Products-Drain-Cleaning-1-Pack/dp/B00OM31OOM/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_lp_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3JJKZ4WCPS840328VZA3

It's like a cheap drain auger but really easy to use it's incredibly effective at getting hair out.

Word of advice: Wear gloves. Latex, Nitrile, whatever, wear some disposable gloves. The hair wad is going to so smell like death.

They look like this:

There are a ton of brands, and you can usually find them at the home centers

Frost92 is probably right, but you could try a plunger or zipit on it. Cheap & easy & might work.

It could just be hair clogging it up. Try one of these:

By the way, they're like a quarter of that price at Home Depot.

That's crazy that the auger didn't work!! I used something like this (picked it up at Walmart or Meijer for less than $2) and it was the only thing to work on my clogged drain! Probably wouldn't help if your auger didn't though.

I have been so tempted to just ask my parents to deal with the concrete crack...but no, this isn't their house so I shouldn't take advantage of their kindness. At least our kids will be able to enjoy the blissful ignorance for a while!
