One of the easiest and cheapest ways to clog a sink is to use bleach. If you have a sink that is getting slower and slower, this will probably work. You just take a gallon bottle of bleach, the cheapest you can find, and pour the entire contents down the drain. Then wait 30 minutes or so and run the cold water down the drain and it should be open.
I believe this works because the sink has a hair or other fiber build up, which then grows mold, which holds the fiber together. The bleach kills the mold and the hair or fiber can then wash on down.
Many of those to whom I've recommended this have reported that it works.
If that doesn't work, a sewer snake may be necessary.
