I only just started on this lifestyle, but I cut out toothpaste and just brush with water after reading that others do this. I also cut out shampoo/conditioner. Right now I am using baking soda (with water) as "shampoo" and apple cider vinegar (also mixed with water) as "conditioner." It's cheap, and has been working well for me. And actually, my hair feels nicer this way. :)

I still use soap, but I want to cut back on that also after I've been eating raw a little longer.

many people use bentonite or moroccan clay to wash their hair. A quick google search should give you some ideas. I haven't tried it yet but I have some clay and I plan on doing so...

I brush my teeth with water and it works just fine. I think soon you will find that you don't really need soaps and deodorants anymore. I have only been LFRV for a few months and I don't need the stuff. If my skin gets dry I might use some coconut oil. It smells great :)
