Rhubarb root has high enough levels of chrysophanic acid to be a
yellow dye. That doesn't mean it will lighten hair, though. If you
draw with a yellow crayon on dark brown paper, it doesn't exactly turn
the paper yellow. These dyes are all translucent stains.

Adding rhubarb root to cassia obovata would show up yellow only on
hair that is pale to begin with.

Combing lemon juice through hair sitting in the sunshine is the only
way I know of to lighten hair, and I can't see that working on just
roots.
