There's also a tool on the market specifically for breaking up trap clogs. It's a flexible plastic strip with some ridges on the sides. It may be called a "Zip-Stick" but I'm not sure. I have one somewhere but since I learned to put my thumb over the vent when plunging the bathroom sink, I haven't used it.
Good luck!

I would definately second the Zip Stick or whatever it is called. I bought one recently to clean out a very slow drain in my bathroom sink that would take more than 1 minute to drain. I stuck it in the drain a couple times and pulled out some hair (it was very stinky). Now the sink drains in about 1-2 seconds.
I bought the zip stick thingy at Home Depot, I think I paid about $2 for it.
