PURPOSE: To provide a hair collector which is capable of extremely efficiently capturing the fibrous foreign matter in water and preventing the degradation in performance, trouble, etc., of a water feed pump generated by suction of the large-sized foreign matter into the water feed pump, facilitates maintenance of the device and is inexpensively produced.

CONSTITUTION: This fair collector 1 is freely attachably and detachably mounted with a hair collecting brush 3 between an inflow port 7 and outflow port 8 of a cylindrical housing container 2. The hair collecting brush to which plural filamentary bodies 16 radially arranged on a shaft body 15 are fixed is formed to a circular columnar shape as a whole. This shaft body 15 is formed by holding the filamentary bodies between two pieces of metal wires and twisting these metal wires to a double spiral form so that the filamentary bodies are arranged in superposition on each other with successive mispositioning in a vertical direction as well in the state of spreading radially in a horizontal direction according to the twists of the metal wires. The hair collecting brush forms a capturing part 17 where the filamentary bodies form a truncated circular cone shape near the inflow port. A band ring 11 for capturing having an L shape in section is fixed near to the bottom of the capturing part.
