Head on Fire: A Black Hair Memoir on Loss and Healing - Paperback

Johnson, Maya L.: - "Maya L. Johnson is a writer, entrepreneur, and advocate for Black women's health whose personal journey with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) transformed the way she approaches beauty, self-worth, and healing. After lifelong struggles with accepting her natural hair and later the shocking discovery of her own hair loss, Maya began exploring the deeper layers of identity, trauma, and resilience tied to Black hair. Her memoir chronicles that transformation - from pain and fear to acceptance and empowerment - while amplifying the voices of millions of Black women navigating similar paths. Through her online platform, CCCA Chronicles, she shares stories, insights, and resources to remind others that they are not alone on the journey toward self acceptance, healing, and wholeness."
