Is the Natural Hair Movement just a scam?

After critically looking at the Natural Hair Movement and what it is today, I can’t help but give it the side eye. Two years ago, when I finally cut off my relaxed hair and was rocking a twa (teeny weeny afro), I turned to the natural hair movement YouTubers on tips on how to take care of my hair, and of course for styling inspiration and the like. All these YouTubers were from all over the world, miles and miles away from me, but it honestly felt like I had a community to turn to and share my natural hair glows and woes. So now that you know I’m not just a hater, let me begin to break down how my relationship with this movement became so bittersweet.
