Unlocking a shampoo pump is simple. First, hold the base of the pump firmly with one hand. With your other hand, grasp the top part of the pump where the spout pivots. Turn the top part of the pump to the left (counter-clockwise) until you feel or hear a click, indicating it has been unlocked. Some pumps may require you to press down slightly as you turn. After unlocking, you can press down on the pump to dispense the product.
