Hair weather in Houston

Based on daily weather records for 2016–2025, the average dew point in Houston ranges from about 44 °F in January to about 75 °F in July. In a typical year that adds up to roughly 234 days with a frizz-risk dew point (60 °F or higher) and 18 days of dry air (below 35 °F).

Frizz season runs April through October: in July, about 100% of days sit at or above 60 °F. That is when silk presses revert fastest and glycerin-heavy stylers tend to puff. Humidity-resistant gels, anti-humidity sprays and protective styles carry you through.

Glycerin-friendly weather (35–60 °F dew points on most days) is most common in November through February. Those are good months for humectant leave-ins and glycerin-based gels.

If you are planning a silk press, December through February have historically had the fewest frizz-risk days in Houston. Check the live forecast above before your appointment — individual weeks can differ a lot from the average.

The live forecast above uses the same scale as the table below: under 35 °F is dry air, 35–60 °F is hair-friendly, 60–65 °F brings frizz risk and 65 °F or more means high frizz. Read more about how the scale works on the dew point hair forecast page.
