We
regret that because of the unstable political situation, we have not
been able to get buxus from our usual source and can not give discounts on bulk quantities. We have an
alternate buxus which has excellent dye content but is not as well
sifted. It will dye your
hair beautifully, but will not rinse out of your hair as easily as our
best buxus.
