I'm seeing this as more of a grim fairy tale - she adapts to the hair loss by changing personas, and as such finds eventually that her husband or boyfriend and/or children suddenly can't relate to her any more, they leave her, she ends up alone, finds out why the aunt was alone all these years.
But does it end happily, with a new guy, finding out her husband was all wrong for her and left her for his secretary which he would have done eventually, or does it end with her wandering into the sea, like in The Awakening, punishment for not keeping to her place and following instructions like a good girl, giving in to curiosity? Like Eve biting the apple, Pandora opening the box, Bluebeard's wife making the wrong decision about the key and the door.
