Gelled or gelled is the past tense ( yesterday, or some time ago ) of "gel", meaning to apply a thick hair product to set a hairstyle--
He gelled his hair; did you see it?
In the 80's nearly everyone's hair was gelled.
Gelled may also describe hair that has been set with a thick hair product--
Look at this old picture of Mom with her gelled hair.
His gelled hair turned into a mess in the rain.
Jelled or jelled ( rhymes with gelled ) is the past tense of "jell", meaning to become thick, as a pudding or jelly--
The mixture jelled in about an hour in the refrigerator.
The last time I made this recipe, it never jelled, and we used it as a sauce.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"He gelled his hair until it looked like a pudding that had jelled with a few spikes on top."
