I used to use an old dental pick for this sort of thing, but lost it in my last move. Boy, this is a nasty job. I hope the thing works. I just ordered one.

The Zip-it is a flat plastic bar with sliced barbs on the side, which grab hair when inserted in the drain. Zip-it clams that it is not reusable, but I wear latex gloves and pull the hair and junk out of it and use it again. Kinda gross, but I don't normally throw away tools just because they get a little dirty. http://www.zipitclean.com/ This is somewhat similar to the Zip-it drain cleaner, which I’ve used many times with great success.
