well i dont think that toothpaste looses its effectiveness - unless you are using a whitening type, and in that case i will stop working bc it can only whiten so much. but for shampoos, id buy a clearifiying shampoo and use it every 4 days, it will rinse out the residue from the shampoo u like and make it work just as effectively as before.

I dont know but that happens to me too.
I have a shampoo I love and it cleans my hair great..then after using it a few weeks..my hair looks sorta oily right after I get done blow drying it! So what I do is find a few shampoos I like and mix them everyday.
As for toothpaste..I know what you mean there too.
I was using a really good one that worked really well and I noticed not long ago it wasn't working so well so now I have a new one.
So basically..you can use the same ones you like, just switch them out every now and then.

A shampoo I can understand, but not toothpaste, I use the same one all the time, a citrus mint one as its the best I can get here and totally effective

Shampoo loses its effectiveness as hair becomes accustomed to it?
The seemingly magic effects of a particular brand of shampoo don't wear off because the body builds up a resistance to it. Rather, our hair can react differently to a particular shampoo because it has been colored or permed somewhere along the line, or because something about our metabolisms or the state of our general health has changed.

I can see that your hair shampoo loses its effectiveness but not your toothpaste! I guess its up to you and if you want to change then go ahead...I have always changed shamppos matter of fact I wash my hair everyday (its short) and routinely rotate 3 shampoos that way my hair stays full in thickness...Good Luck to you!!

This age old question eh?
Well, it's actually a myth! They don't lose effectiveness. It's a sort of Chinese whisper put about by manufacturers of such products to make you believe that you need to change now and again. So, you will buy new products!
I know this because I read an article by British Tricologist Philip Kingsley, who explained it all!

I'm not sure about the toothpaste. I wouldn't think so though. As far as your hair products, yes your hair can get use to it so I would suggest you changing up every few months.

I know what your talking about. I have to try a new shampoo every week because after the first time I use one it wont lather up for me. Its so weird. I wonder why?

Happens to me with Dandruff shampoo. I use Neotrogena for 3 months, then H&S, then something else, then organic then right back to Neutrogena.
The world is one, big Ying Yang. So are hair products.

It is the build-up of the product. Especially with shampoos. THey recommend changing brands every two months.
