How do you apply gel?

in Hair Type 3
I really don't believe I have been applying my gel right bescause I always end up with a dry, weird look. But I've only tried about three times. Some parts of my hair end up hard or crunchy, but other parts are soft. How can I create an even coverage? Any tips, or your own routines would be appreciated!
Thanks

But for now, I use the scrunching method from the CG book. And it works well, esp. when I plop. After I rinse/comb my conditioner out....I scrunch in generous amounts of gel, starting at the ends and continuing up. I dont rake.
Note: I DO NOT EMPLOY TOWELS, except on my shoulders to prevent water from dripping down my back. After I rinse, I goto the mirror with untouched, soaking wet hair. Then I apply the gel, and plop my hair loosely with a gigantic scarf.
