"I braided a lot when I was in school as a hobby but I didn’t start my Instagram until 2014 and that's when I really got into doing different types of braids and hairstyles! I had a blog at the time and posted a lot of different content on Instagram but once I started to post my hairstyles on my Instagram I started to get a lot of recognition and I really fell in love with the creativity of doing different braids and hairstyles!" says the artist.

"I love the creativity of it, that you can create so many different styles just by doing different types of braids! It started out just as a hobby but has grown to be a part time job! I’m a full time student right now so I’m very lucky that I can call my biggest hobby my part time job!" Elvira told Bored Panda.

When asked if there's anything Elvira doesn't like about the braiding process, she told us this: "To be honest, braiding long hair kills my arms sometimes, haha! But other than that there isn’t really anything that I don’t like about the braiding process!"

"In the beginning, it was easy to come up with different hairstyles but now that I’ve done a lot of the basic ones it can definitely sometime be tricky to come up with a new style! What I usually do is that I start off by doing a basic hairdo, like a simple braid, and then I try new things to make it unique!" says Elvira, the queen of braids.

When asked, what, in her opinion, got her account so popular, Elvira told us this: "I think people might like the ”boho/fairy-like” style of the pictures. I don’t just focus on the hairstyle, I also put time into what kind of clothes I’m wearing to complement the hairstyle and the background as well as the lighting."

"I just want to add that I really love that my followers are so engaging, their ideas makes me more creative and I always try to make tutorials that they request. So make sure to let me know if you, my followers, want to see a specific hairstyle and I will do my best to make a tutorial!" says Elvira.
