Abstract
A loose hair capture or entrapment device designed to be especially effective in showers is disclosed. The device easily and safely captures and retains loose hair, which can be later readily removed and disposed. The device is meant to provide a means for preventing loose hair from falling into and clogging shower and tub drains. The device has a plurality of substantially opposing flexible pillars with a space or gap separating the opposing pillar ends. The plurality of opposing pillars may be tilted or angled in one direction such that by swiping one's hand or finger in a direction opposite to the pillar tilt reduces the gap dimension and tends to trap loose hair, while swiping one's hand in the direction of the pillar tilt increase the gap dimension and allows the loose hair to be removed for proper disposal.
