Ask anyone who’s attended an HBCU about campus style and they’ll be quick to tell you that undergraduates don’t skimp on keeping their style and hair in check. At Howard University’s Springfest, a week-long campus event, ladies stepped out in their fiercest curls and coils and a few fabulous straight styles, too. We hit The Yard to capture some of Howard’s hottest hairstyles and, by the looks of it, these college coifs are definitely making the grade.
