A: Scruples Shadow Lowlights is a filler-infused, permanent gel color system designed specifically for creating dimensional lowlights, deep accent pieces, or all-over color in a single step .

• 9G Butterscotch: A level 9 Gold shade—a warm, sun-kissed golden blonde. This shade brings brightness and warmth, enhancing natural hair color with soft, dimensional lowlights. It works well on both blonde bases (adding subtle depth) and brunette bases (creating soft contrast) .
