Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Answer: I read this book as a kid and so did my mom. She said she cut her hair because she was tired of them clipping pieces for their spells. I don't remember that part in the book. I might have to read it again.
Answer: They may have found out that Terry was not healthy-or fertile-enough, is my guess.

Answer: Terry was murdered by the the Castevets (pushing her out the window). Terry became suspicious about Roman and Minnie and why they had taken her into their home. It may also be that once they met Rosemary and Guy, they found Rosemary to be a more suitable "mother." Regarding Rosemary's hair. When she became pregnant, she experienced severe and constant pain keeping her housebound. She finally decided not to give into it anymore and made an effort to go about her normal life, having lunch with Hutch, getting a new haircut, planning a party for her and Guy's old friends that they never saw anymore, and so on. It was only after she threatened Guy to go back to her original doctor that a spell was apparently put on her to stop the pain.

Terry may have actually committed suicide (with a little 'help') because she couldn't face the fact that she was to be used to procreate with Satan. This is indicated if you listen to Ruth Gordon's voice as the nun in Rosemary's "dream" when Rosemary was actually overhearing Minnie through the wall, chastising Roman with "If you had listened to me we wouldn't have to do this! We would have been all set to go instead of having to start from scratch! I told you not to tell her in advance. I told you she wouldn't be open-minded!"
