I'm not sure about turning it into gel, but I too have the same "non
gel" results from the mix I used (granted I know I don't do it
exactly as the instructions say).

I have been using the gel recipe anyway though because it really
stretches out 100 grams and with my long hair that's a great
benefit. I think the gel simply makes it thicker even though 500ml
of fluid is added to it, stretching the henna but not really
affecting the consistency. My most recent recipe I use the "no sugar
necessary" pectin and instead of only using half of it (as the
recipe says) I just dump in the whole little box.

I've also noticed that the mix isn't so lumpy using the gel
technique.
