does it separate into a thicker and thinner layers: like oil is oozing out of the gel? Is it a normal thing? can the oil be just stirred back in?

The liquid you see is actually the silicon.The solids are the thickeners added to the silicone to make it less prone to migrate (stay in place).I use a clean toothpick or Q-tip to stir before I use it.

It doesn't get crunchy like a gel, but it does get solid. I would describe it as getting thicker. I've never used the firme, but unless you are trying to make your hair really high you should be ok either way. I wear my hair in a slickback and have no problems. It also reactivates with water if anything gets out of place. Just wet your comb and run it through your hair.

It will actually be a little bit of both. If you shake it up the then it becomes a thin gel consistency.

I would suggest using the Xikar solution. The gel inside might not react the same way with distilled water as it does with the Xikar Propolene Glycol solution. Just my opinion.

This does not sound right at all. Mine is like a very soft gel--goes on skin like silk. I do manipulate it around in the tube before using to make sure all is mixed well. You might try that.

It is right in between. It is not as thick as some builder gels I have seen. Nor is it as thin as a polish. Consistency is more that of a clear gel like IBD. Would work nicely for an overlay probably.

It doesn't gel, but if you don't stir it as it's going in it can get kind of clumpy. But I find that in cold beverages it mixes quite nicely and I have only tried it in a few foods, and didn't even notice it was there.

Yes, it does. The only problem I encountered was when the oil separated from the solid ingredients. I had difficulty mixing them together so I just used the oil and threw the remaining solid away. Hope this helps. Ms

This one is gel so it should have more of a "jelly" like consistency. However it is not really thick so it can easily be turned into liquid.

I think it is too thick. If you thinned it you could probably spray it, but that would defeat the purpose of it being a gel.

It's sort of in the middle, if that makes sense. It's not watery enough to be a true toner, but it's very liquidy for a moisturizer. I use it after my toner and before my serums.

Yes it is gel like when comes out of the bottle and I put it on my dry face. A small whitish foam results from rubbing it on my skin... Not super foamy but I like this product

Ours was thinner than I like when the cream was room temp. When we did this at church we used a small mason jar with lid we did not let the cream get room temp we shook it for at least 3 or 4 mins it came out like butter and the kids loved it I guess don't take the cream out until you use it. I hope this helped.

I actually mix mine with ground flaxseed (1/1 ratio) and that makes it much less chunky. The only other recommendation I can give is, use more water, stir heavily and chug it right away. The longer you leave it the thicker it becomes.

I have only used the shampoo and conditioner. I don't use gel. I am sure it will react like any other gel.

I'm using coconut oil, it's better than the gel. Olive oil may be also used. The best of these 2 oils: They're natural and contain no mineral oils.

I'm getting the bubbles too, I was so excited to try out this product, but now I'm frustrated because the bubbles show up each time. Has anyone figured out why this happens? Are there ways to prevent it? I know it's the Gelous because it does not happen when I don't use this product. I'm doing thin coats & I'm not shaking the bottle.
