« Qu'est-ce qui » vs. « Qu'est-ce qu' » when followed by vowel

Bonjour ! One of the A2 level exercises asks which would be the correct beginning for the phrase « [X] a changé entre nous ? » and I'm having a hard time figuring out why the only acceptable answer here is the one with the full « qui ». I thought in front of the vowels we were supposed to make an elision in order to ease the pronunciation. Could you please help? Merci !

meaning of reussir

j'aurai reussi ma vie - i will have had a successful life. Other examples of reussir have 'a' and 'de' after it on reverso. Why doesn't it need anything here? And one other thing, I'm asking quite a lot of questions and I always tick the 'get an email notification button' but I noticed just now that I have had two answers on this page, but I was not notified. Is this a glitch?

dont or ouLe film, ________ l'acteur principal est Jean Dujardin, a gagné un Oscar. Why can this not be 'ou' (accented of course) rather than dont?. It seems to work grammatically.

Why coiffées?Elles se les sont coiffées. (les cheveux) They combed it (their hair).

I’m finding it hard to understand why coiffées isn’t coiffés, with direct object agreement, cheveux being a masculine plural noun?
