A young office worker killed herself after bombarding a hairdresser with demands for an appointment because she was worried her hair had gone ginger, an inquest has heard.
Frances Warren, 26, was concerned that her long blonde hair had turned a shade of 'yellow' or 'ginger' and was desperate for it to be fixed.
She was so anxious about the colour of her hair, she texted her hairdresser 50 times begging her for help, an inquest at Avon Coroner's Court heard.
The inquest was told that immediately after an appointment with her hairdresser at her home in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire she disappeared - leaving her purse and handbag behind.
Two days later on May 31 last year police found her body 80 miles away in dense woodland in Sedgley, West Midlands.
Officers had been searching the area off Hickmerelands Lane after her silver Honda Civic car was recovered nearby with her mobile phone left on the dashboard.
Miss Warren had seen her GP a couple of weeks earlier reporting symptoms of anxiety and stress and had been offered anti-depressants and had referred herself to a counselling service.
The inquest was attended by Miss Warren's parents, Kieran and Marjorie, sisters Catherine and Nicola, boyfriend Sam Cotton and other family members.
In a written statement, her boyfriend Sam Cotton told the hearing: ‘Throughout the two months leading up to her death she had problems with her hair.
‘She changed her colour four or five times and had had it recoloured since March but was uncontrollably upset and wouldn’t listen when I said it was OK. It took over her life.’
