I wanted to clear some confusion true amber oil (ambergris) is from the sperm whale which is endangered. Highly sought after and expensive. There is no such thing as amber essential oil, though according to cosmetic regulations there are no huge restrictions on labeling something an essential oil. Essential oils are from distilled or extracted from a singular plant. What is referred to as Amber essential oil is a mix. What they mean by amber essential oil is a mix of amber resin and sunflower oil. Some add vitamin e and jojoba oil. (it could be a different mix) In the end it's an oil. It's mainly used in fragrances so just like any other oil you would have to try and see. I have not seen any individual use it for hair. My only concern is if it would be difficult to clean the oil out of the hair if it works on removing bonding tape.
