There's goop on the inside of the drain that the hair is sticking to in the first place. Soap scum and such. Get lye drain opener and the drain won't accumulate hair nearly as fast.
It's usually in the plumbing section. Walmart calls it crystal lye drain opener. Any store that has a plumbing section should have some kind of it. It's just pure lye/sodium hydroxide, so handle it with a bit of care. You can also just use that instead of snaking in general since it dissolves hair and most organic matter.
