The "magic hair" bit is original to the Disney movie as far as I know, and is not in the original story. The Disney movie is nothing like the orignal story, to be honest. They'd most likely base Rapunzel on the original story, with small references to the Disney movie. Actually in the tale Rapunzel is based off of "Persinette" her hair was magical, it didn't have healing abilities like in Tangled but she could use it like a third limb and change its shape, length, and density
