Naturelovers Dreadlocks Natural Dreads JourneyAbout me
Around 7 1/2 months
Greetings, I’m Kimber! I live in the beautiful prairies of Canada and i’m currently still in school. I’m a very down to earth chick that loves nature (if you didn’t guess that already), the universe, all the creatures, and this beautiful planet. I love to meditate, write, do yoga, sing, dance, listen to others, and have lovely conversations about life, man. I really enjoy chilling with friends, meeting new souls, celebrating life, and spending time with my loving family. My dream is to one day escape to the middle of the woods and live my life as slowly and peacefully as possible, man. I live for adventure and enjoy the little things in life, and I hope I can inspire others to never take anything for granted!
Growing 100% natural dreadlocks has changed my life completely! Before I grew my dreads, I always felt like something was missing in my life, I didn’t feel beautiful, and I could feel a spiritual emptiness inside. My locks have helped me in ways you can’t imagine and I am now a content human being that has strong spiritual beliefs. They’re a part of me, like the trees are a part of this earth. If you are considering growing locks, I highly suggest that you do, you won’t regret it.
For the fun of it, I thought I might share some of the bands/music I enjoy listening to! I love almost all types of genres, but my favourites are the blues, folk music, classic rock, rock, hardcore and metal. I must say though.. I am in LOVE with Janis Joplin. I pointed her out because she inspires me so much man and she’s opened my eyes to soulful and pure music. If you love her as well.. RESEPECT, man! Here are some of the other artists I like: The Doors, Joan Baez, The Paper Kites, Gogol Bordello, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Keys, Blind Melon, Blink 182, We came as Romans, Of Mice and Men, Miss May I, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, Eric Clapton, Current Swell, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Sublime, Canned Heat, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Moody Blues, Boston, As I Lay Dying, Evanescence, Elton John, Suicide Silence, Cream, Buffalo Springfield, Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, Upon A Burning Body, Walking With Strangers, Slipknot, Pantera, Protest The Hero, DevilDriver, The Devil Wears Prada, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Dope, Woe, Is Me, A Day to Remember, Linkin Park, Neil Young, and many more!
“Mother Earth, you’re my life support system. As a child I must drink your blue water, live

inside your red clay and eat your green skin. Help me to balance myself. As you hold in balance, the Earth, the sea, and the space environments. Help me to open my heart, knowing that the Universe will feed me. I pray my soles will always kiss your face, and my footsteps match your heartbeat. Carry my body through space and time. You’re my connection to the Universe and all that comes after. I’m yours and you are mine. I embrace you.”
– This quote is from the movie “The Men Who Stare at Goats” (but I changed it slightly). I love it so much… I feel like it explains my feelings and thoughts entirely!

dear kimber =)
i had dreadlocks for 7 or 8 month… this was one year ago. i loved them, they were unique and beautiful but after i while my migrenes (i suffer from migrenes since i was a child) got worse and i could not take it anymore… i think they were too heavy. i cut them and was really sad about that. since that day i always miss heaving dreads. my hair was only 4 cm after my dreads were cut and i am now growing it just to have dreadlocks again one day…
but now here is my question. do you have any idea how i may have dreadlocks without suffering with bad migrenes? because after some time they will surely get heavy again. i miss them and don´t want to do without them.
thank you for reading
love

I’m so sorry you had to cut off your locks! I really don’t know a lot about migrenes.. But i would think maybe putting your hair up in tammies/beanies might help. You may leave your locks down for awhile, but put them up when you can. Also, i’m not sure if you’re in to this, but i may also suggest meditation. Take a few minutes every day and really relax your mind. I’m sorry i couldn’t be of much help! Take care, love!
wow, my freind what a sad story about you migrains ,i to suffer from them too, my suggestion would be when they start to get heavy try to put them up in a very loose ponytail not tight to the head it should take some of the weight off you scalp, also meditate, meditate, meditate, my mom is a certified rakie tech an she does rakie on my head an it does wonders too!!!i loved reading all about you an you are such a wonderful kindhearted young lady,you defenetally give me insperation , not to give up on anything in life , also with my dreads i love looking at your videos it helps me to realize iam not the only one going threw this long jurney with my dreads, i hope i just dont bother you with all my questions, an i have one more for you , why are my dreads starting to brend at the tips some of them are loo0king like bannanas lol if you know what i mean???? can you please tell me why/ thanxs so much a peace an love to you too!!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed reading it ^_^ They’re looking like bananas at the tips? .. Hmm, I really don’t know! I’m sorry that i couldn’t help man! :\
did you use wax? wax will add weight and destroy dreads muine are 1 foot past my toes (21 years old) and no weight issues except when wet or if tied up off ballance migrains and stress headaches can be helped by gathering the dreads up and pulling upwards especialy on the hairlines the tension pulling upwards can also relieve sinus tension it dont always work but can most times
You’re welcome! Thanks for the visit
And for sure!
I have been searching for information on this topic for awhile now. So, really appreciate you taking the time to write about it. Truly was difficult to find, so I wanted to post my first comment out of gratitude
You are very welcome! I’m happy to have helped you

Hi Kimber !
My name is Julien and i’m french.
then i discovered your Web site.
and Mother Earth is my highest belief ! Nature is all for me, we are all children of this wonderful earth,she gave birth to us that’s why we must protect them and to be grateful toward her.Everyday i realize that i’m so lucky to live in this planet,it gives me all my energy and all my spiritulality,and concerning me,Love,Nature and Spirituality are the most important things in this world.
I saw dreadlocks’ videos on youtube when i saw one of your videos
Firstly i want to say that your dreadlocks are very beautiful,so natural and i really love it ! moreover you seems to be a very open minded person ! i read some of your articles and i love what you say and what you think about life,about our beautiful planet and your spirituality too.Through your words i had the impression to see me because i’m exactly like you,i have the same ideas,i’m pantheist too
I wear dreadlocks too,since one year,and i must admit taht they are me strength,just like you dreadlocks have really changed my life ! it’s a pride for me to wear it,moreover i have a very spiritual link with them.Dreadlocks are sacred,for some people it’s just a hairstyle..but it’s wrong,dreadlocks have a story,for me they are a kind of power,and i want to keep them all my life.
And to be honest,i think really just like you,it’s crazy ! when i speak i use the same words as you,i see the life in the same way,and i was directly charmed by your words ! you have just a perfect vision of life,i love it,most people should be like you..for me your sensibility to this planet is amazing,and it’s important for our future and the future of mother earth to have ideas like our.
I want to say that you are a very beautiful girl too,a little fairy of nature
i saw that you live in Canada,what a luck ! leave in this country is one of my biggest dream ,and why not live in this country , it would be a dream comes true ! Canada seems to be magic and the landscapes are totally amazing !
Kimber,it would be a pleasure for me to speak with you,do you have a facebook?
Before leaving you,i wanna say that you seems to be a wonderful person,so don’t change ! i hope you to answer my message and speak with you very soon
Best wishes and kisses from France
Greetings Julien!!
– I’m Kimber Nielson – But i think it’s sort of difficult to find me, so would you like to give me your name so I can try and find you?
Wow… I am honestly lost for words right now! First off.. I find it amazing that you’re a Pantheist as well and that you adore Mother Nature! You are wonderful! I thank you with all my heart, Julien. I loved reading everything you said. I love how alike our minds are and how much we have in common. I definitely agree with locks being so spiritual, and sacred. They’re so much more than just a hairstyle. As my locks form and grow, so does who I am. Thank you for everything you said, you’re extremely kind! There should be more people like you Julien
I’m sorry that I live so far away! Canada is quite beautiful though. The prairies have wondrous sites!
I do have facebook, and i would gladly get to know you more and chat some more!
You’re a wonderful human being, and i hope you never change as well. Stay excellent

Hi Kimber
Something strange happened when I started growing my hair. A couple of months ago a fully formed dreadlock appeared out of the blue. I welcomed it as an old friend for I have had dreads for years till they became one giant congo. So this time I went looking for some advice and came upon your site and, wow man, it really blew my mind and touched my soul the way you talk about pantheism, nature and spirituality… instant recognition
Like you I believe that earth and all its creatures are expressions of the cosmic lovegod.
Like you I feel my dreads to be a spiritual thing. Since I started growing them I feel much more in touch with nature and more able to express my love. It may sound silly but I know you’ll understand
You are such a gentle, loving soul it shines through all you write and all your video’s
Living in Canada must be awesome with all that beautiful nature. Northern Belgium where I live is like one big city but I’m so happy to live on the edge of a park, so when I wake I’m surrounded and greeted by friendly trees.
There are so much thoughts and feelings I’d like to share with you. Maybe this will happen.
Meanwhile stay radiant and enjoy the play of life.
“May the long time sun shine on you
All love surround you
May the pure light within you
Guide your way on” (incredible stringband)
Love and peace

Greetings, Frans! I’m so happy you came across my site, and enjoyed reading it! I hope I helped you out, and gave you some advice that was useful man.
I completely understand! I have always been in love with nature, but once I started growing my roots, I could feel myself become one with nature. It’s such an amazing feeling, knowing that my roots are like the roots of a tree
Thank you very much. You’re a very sincere, thoughtful, and beautiful soul!
Canada, is really beautiful. I love all the prairies, trees, fields, and random flower patches in the summer and spring. It’s not so great in the winter though, but it’s worth it! I’m glad you like living in Northern Belgium. Realls sounds wonderful!
I feel like we would get along man.
Much love and blessings to you,
Sincerely, Kimber
I just started natural dreading myself start about 5 months ago. everythings going awesome except the front haha but its all good. happy journeys to you and cant wait to see the finished product. and awesome music choices
Sounds wonderful! The front tends to take longer, but no need to worry! I’m sure your locks look fabulous. Happy journey to you too, thank you for reading my blog!
Well helloooo there!
I’m Ted :}
I just gotta say, your so fabulously beautifully grand!
Your videos fill me with with happy fuzzy rays of sunshine x)
It makes me so happy to find people like you who have such a beautiful, pure, enlightened outlook on life <3
It's people like you and me who understand and appreciate the glorious gift of nature that will have a huge impact on the lives of our brothers and sisters who are lost in the unhappy sinthetic shit of today's society.
Hopefully one day we'll bump into each other , and change the world one psychedelic hugging circle at a time! Lolz. XD
Rainbow family gathering perhaps? Hahaa that'd be pretty fuckin rad dude B)!
Anyways , sorry for the ramblin ' I'm just a chatty lil lady
Stay groovy man

Greetings, beautiful soul!
Bless your soul.
Nice to meet you Ted, I’m Kimber
Thank you for reading my blog and watching my videos! I’m soo happy they make you happy
You’re really sweet. This society is shit though… Maybe our souls will help change the world.
Would be dope if we met! I’ve never been to a gathering actually.. really want to! I dream of it, man.
Stay excellent, man
Hi Kimber!
I have enjoyed reading about your dreading journey as I am starting on one myself. I have always been a nature fiend but never had the guts to dread, but now is the time and it feels amazing! Looking through your fav bands, I couldn’t help but to suggest you listen to Trevor Hall (not sure if you do already). He is so good, it’s hard for me to stop listening to him. Anywho, keep doin’ what you’re doin’ on the everlasting quest for peace and tranquility~~~~~
Peace&Love always,
Jen

Hi kim. Im ej siked upon ur dreads! Its real sweet. I had dreads also for about five
Months.just below my shoulders. Pretty but not natural and that was my regret for the longest time so i chopped it off and now im goin natural. Its kinda crazy an awsome knowing i aint the only earthworm that loves nature. Im super to reply to u .
Hi Kimber! I just watched your dread diary videos on youtube. I’m at 6 months & all these 6 months I’ve been completely neglecting my hair &washing it about 5 days a week (not consecutively). I’m dreading the back of my hair past my ears. The hair in front of my ears is still it’s wavy normal self. I wish I had paid more attention & watched your videos sooner, then I would have known that separating my hair is necessary if I don’t want it to clump but it did. Not entirely though. I just have 3 big clumps that would have been beautiful individuals. Sorry for all this talking I have no one to talk to about my dreads. Dreads don’t interest my friends. If you have any advice please do share with me ! :] Also, do you think I can trim my hair even though it’s dreading? My hair is happy when it gets a nice little trim. :d I will be washing less and using baking soda, tea tree oil, & apple cider vinegar from now on thanks to you! Much love.
-Sky Lurker
Well, can you separate them now? I’m not sure how it looks so I can’t make decsisions for you, but if you think you can, then try! If you really want, you ccan try brushing them out and trying again, but that’s not neccessary! Just try things that you’re comfortable with.
Yes, You can trim your hair! your hair is still progressing so it’ll be fine.
You’ll love the baking soda wash! It’s grand
I really hope I helped, and remember, I’m always here to give my advice if you want it. So don’t apologize
Stay golden!
-Kimber

Thank you
I’m happy that you liked my video! That’s super awesome, man. Stay real, much love to you!
