"   Photo: Getty Images  If we had to pinpoint the return of the braid as a fashion statement, it&amp;#039;d be the side braids at Alexander Wang&amp;#039;s SS09 show. Since then, they&amp;#039;ve become wispier, and more Heidi-like, piled high atop the head. On runways, they&amp;#039;re pulled to the side, messy and undone\u2014in many ways it&amp;#039;s the perfect summer hairstyle (especially this summer), but like many beauty trends the most carefree looking ones are often the hardest to replicate. New York Magazine swears by John Barrett&amp;#039;s Braid Bar, which opened inside Bergdorf Goodman earlier this summer. Their particular tester donned the braid throughout 96 hours of outdoor activities, four nights of sleep and multiple train rides, making its $45 price tag a steal. But if you&amp;#039;d rather pull it back yourself, or don&amp;#039;t live in New York, we&amp;#039;ve rounded up a few of the best accessories with which to secure your locks.
