Emmy Rossum's Low Braid

Here's a photo of Emmy Rossum at The Onyx and Breezy Foundation "Saving Tails" fundraiser. Emmy's dark brown hair is swept back in a low braid that's been pulled wider, while her shorter bangs are clipped to the side. This hairstyle is laid back, unique, and modern, just like Emmy.
This is easier to do when you have longer nails, as you'll often notice that hairstylists tend to grow their nails a bit to aid them while styling and finger-combing hair.
Emmy used dark-colored clips to control any stray or shorter hair at the back, making sure that these won't fall loose and ruin the braid. Run a straightening iron through strands that you can't get into the braid to create the glossy effect that Emmy has. Also, straighten your bangs and secure them to the side with a simple clip or two, like she had done to keep her hair from falling into her face.
