Show off your neck, your ears, your sexy collarbone with these hairstyles.

Spring is about maxi dresses, spaghetti straps, high heeled sandals and romance!
Jo Blackwell-Preston, Owner of New York City's Dop Dop Salon has got three really awesome hairstyles that you can wear for a party, event or date night. Heck, if it's super hot, wear one of these styles and instantly glam your outfit up a notch.
Hair accessories are what can make your 'do extra special. Often the best accessories come from your own jewelry box. Find a beautiful diamond or crystal bracelet and use bobby pins to drape it at the bottom of a chignon or weave the bracelet into a braid and secure with pins.

Dangling earrings also create an easy, show-stopping look. Run a bobby pin through the earring clasp and secure to one side of a chignon.
Three earrings to try:
Loose knot silver and rhinestone earrings ($5, Icing.com)
Simply Vera Vera Wang Briolette drop earrings ($9.80, )
Crystal two tone palm tree drop earrings ($20,)
To dress up a look, add an embellished comb or brooch (can be an heirloom) with a simple low chignon. Use a few bobby pins to secure the broach at the chignon. If you prefer to wear your hair down, create a deep side part and curl hair with the KISS InstaWave ($59.99, Amazon.com) and place the embellished comb above the ear.

Find a pair of lacquered chopsticks with gold trim or that are bejeweled. Weave them in and out of a loose knot, braids that have been bunned together, or a low bun.
