Carrots as Hair Gel?

I placed some ravioli squares and some mushy cooked carrots on Evan's high chair tray the other night so that he could feed himself his dinner. He ate all of the pasta but just stirred most of the carrots around with his fingers. The next thing I knew, the carrots were in his hair! He started deliberately rubbing them through his hair from the top of his head down. Once he was finished with his masterpiece, he got all upset. It's not clear whether he decided that he didn't like having a head full of carrot juice after all, or if he was just mad because he had nothing left to 'paint' with.
