Default hair dye from banana sap?

cutting down a lady finger bunch I got covered in banana sap it really flowed out of the stalk. Faster then ever before and much more of it - and covered me

tee shirt being thrown (my favourite - it fits, is old, is soft, boo hoo but the boss says go)

got some in my hair too -

which got us thinking could it be used as a hair dye, because everytime I get some on my clothes the stain is very very permanent.

does anyone know if this is posible? does anyone know if it has been tried?

google found the question we asked, but no answers

So banana experts, what do you think? and if you make millions from our idea please send a cut this way.

I wondered the same thing after seeing the stains from sap here. It seems like it would be a great dye alternative...and it is natural and permanent.

Sounds like a good experiment. Maybe I'll revisit this with pictures.

Hey paradisi - that sap certainly does stain clothes forever!! But I have had it drip on my head, and being blonde expected to see a mark - but nada!!
