Actually in my case less gel might be better because my hair is so stupidly fine and fenugreek rinse ends up being too heavy for my hair (even when diluted into my herbal wash).
Now that I think of it I will give fenugreek gel one more try, only I'll cook it for significantly less time so its less gel-y and might be more suitable for my uber fine hair. Up to now I've been making it separately from my hair wash (though its called for in the recipe) to get a good gel from it. I think less is better in my case, LOL!
It's not gel like commercial hair gel, its more the consistency of thin pancake syrup, the really cheap sort that nobody really likes, but only after hours and hours of cooking.
