1. Baby Hair: Spray hairspray on your toothbrush and use it to run the baby hairs or tiny hairs that are just starting to grow, back into their place. These pesky hairs can really stick out and be annoying.

2. Curls: If you can't figure out a way to get tangles out of your curly hair, then all you need to do is use a toothbrush. Combing curly hair too much can make it look frizzy and the curls can fall flat, whereas a toothbrush would never make the hair look too flat and would definitely rid you of the tangles.

This will help get rid of the dead skin cells and clean up clogged pores, and the baby toothbrush is so gentle that it wouldn't even harm your skin. This is a perfect beauty hack to try using a toothbrush.

5. Chapped Lips: Dead skin not only sits on the face. It can attack the lips as well. For this, all you need to do is to mix some powdered sugar with olive oil and rub the baby toothbrush along your lips. You'll see the dead skin gone. Use a lip balm after you do this.
