How do I open the Caviar shampoo and conditioner bottles?
Twist the silver cap to the left just about a quarter of a rotation and turn the bottle upside down. Then squeeze the bottle to dispense the product through the silicone nipple in the cap which opens automatically to let the product out. The cap when locked pressurizes the bottle to keep product from leaking out. When unlocked, it allows product to dispense easily when squeezing the bottle. We also recommend leaving the bottles in the locked position upside down in the shower to keep the product close to the dispenser to allow for easy dispensing when unlocked.
