Bath tub pluged?

okay my tub was plugged up for some reason and then i used draino and it went away. but soon it kept coming back and i dont know what to do. help the drain did clear up so how can it build up so fast.Bath tub pluged?
It may not have unclogged it completely just a small hole in the plug. Hair %26lt;try brushing before bathing%26gt; is an evil culprit, so is soap. Do you know what type of pipes you have? If they are PVC you can pour bleach down the drain, will dissolve the hair and soap and much cheaper than Drano. I leave mine overnight but if you have metal pipes it is not good to do from what I hear. Afterwards run really hot water. After water drains pour vinegar and baking soda %26lt;it is going to foam%26gt; once a week for a while %26lt;both ingredients are cheap%26gt; If it stays unclogged you can go to once a month treatments. If not you may have to have a plumber snake it out then use the vinegar and baking soda for upkeep. Good luck.Bath tub pluged?
This sounds dumb,but I've been through it.Run the water until it's hot and take out your plunger-yes,plunger-and wait until you have some water buildup and plunge the drain.It's a little tough getting around the stopper,so unscrew it,then use the plunger as a stopper for water build up.What happens is that the build up is so gunky,you need to force it away by using the plunger hard.Which happens with hot water being forced down the drain.Hard
you can boil a pot of water on the stove and pour it down the drain a few times
Nasty_mcdirty said it right. I tried his advice, and it worked for me! Thanx McDirty!!!
