hair gel
You can safely use gel-based toothpastes as hair gel. Not for daily use, but quite handy in an emergency if the gel tube turns out to be empty.

Remove stains from hair dye
If you are used to coloring your hair yourself at home, then you probably know that a stain on your skin or clothing is easily made. You can easily clean these stains by applying toothpaste and rubbing it with a damp cloth.
If you prefer to prevent these stains, you can rub your forehead, ears and neck with a small layer of toothpaste before coloring your hair. This way you lay a protective film and you don’t have to worry about leftovers afterwards.
Shiny nails
You can surprisingly clean, whiten and strengthen your nails with toothpaste. Use an old toothbrush and give your nails a good scrubbing.
