I fought hair (filament) algae for many a year after getting a particularly nasty string in my tank by accident. My recommendation would be to run a phosphate sponge media to lower your phosphates and get yourself a mexican turbo snail or two. I know how much of a pain this stuff is, as it clogged my intakes and power heads pretty bad in its hay day. Now, the only stuff that grows is on the shells of my Nas snails, which are moving targets for my Turbos. Rather than trying to net the algae or pull it off by hand, use a siphon tube to suck it up. Pulling it off tends to leave filaments in the water that can cause issues.
I agree with PSU4ME though... knowing more about how you got here will help us understand what advice to give to prevent it in the future beyond general advice or what worked for us.
