Shampoo: Apply baking soda to wet hair. Massage and rinse.

Conditioner: Spray/pour vinegar to washed hair. Rinse, if desired. Once the vinegar dries, it will leave no smell behind.

Toothpaste: Mix equal parts baking soda and coconut oil and stir. Use a small spoon to apply a small dot of the mixture to your wet toothbrush and brush your teeth, as usual.
