I too have a client with a family of girls ..
hair is not only strong but its fine , so get a long run with a few turns and they all have a bit of hair and you end up with a ball that wont break up like roots .
No cutter will cut it so that makes it worse .
I always pull out the cable when I feel it hit stuff on a shower/tub line .

We had a 6 flat that the landlord had us come in every year and power rod the bathtub drains in all the units regardless if they drained fine or not. Thing that shocked me was the slow draining tubs we pulled out a small amount of hair, the tubs that drained fine we ended up pulling out enough hair to fill a coffee can.Ron Hasil Lic #058-160417

Strength: MAN vs COPPER
A HUMAN hair is stronger than a copper wire of the same thickness and can stretch up to 30 per cent before snapping. An average head of hair when twisted together can support 23 tonnes of weight, or the equivalent of around 100 people. Man wins
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...-beetle-500866Is a strand of hair stronger than a strand of steel the same size? Answer 1:
Yes and no; it depends on what kind of strength you mean.
There are two kinds of mechanical strength: compressional strength and tensile strength. Tensile strength is how strong the material is when being stretched. For something like a cable to hang something from, you want high tensile strength. Compressional strength is how well the substance resists being squished. For something like an arch, you want compressional strength.
Hair is made out of protein. Proteins, by and large, are great at tension and awful at compression. For tensile strength, yes, hair is stronger than steel.
For compression, well, feathers are made out of the same protein, and you know how hard pillows are!
Answer 2:
Here are typical ultimate strengths of different materials when pulled.These can all vary depending on purity:
Nylon thread: 75 MPa
Human hairs: 200 MPa
Ordinary structural steel: 400 MPa
Silk: 500 MPa
Spider web (dragline): 1200 MPa
Piano wire steel: 2300 MPa
Carbon Nanotube: 62000 MPa
So it looks like human hair is stronger than nylon but weaker than almost any steel. Piano wire is much stronger, and spider silk is in between. Carbon Nanotube could be the strongest thing, although we currently don't know how to make them longer than about 1 mm.
They're also super stretchy before they break, which could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you want to use it for. http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=1693Push sticks/blocks Save Fingers

I did a couple of Nuns homes back in the 80's bathtub was full of hair,
back a few years ago they exhumed President Zachary Taylor to test his hair for the presence of arsenic to see if that is why he died, just thank after over 150 years his hair was still theirJERRYMAC
