In Disney's Tangled, Rapunzel's magical golden hair turns brown and stops growing after being cut in the movie's climax, but in the animated series, it regrows with new magic from mystical rocks, becoming indestructible but losing its healing powers. So, in the original film, it stops; in the series, it comes back with different magic.
When the cut hair is burned/destroyed (Gothel falls while holding it and it is consumed), the magic transfers back into Rapunzel -- shown by her tears glowing and subsequently healing Flynn, and her hair regrowing (short, blonde hair) that can glow again when she sings.
By cutting off her hair, Eugene frees Rapunzel from Gothel's clutches, but he also robs her of her power -- all without her consent. HE's the one who sets her free, HE's the one who saves her, even though the entire emotional journey of the movie rests on Rapunzel attaining her independence.

We measured and weighed the hair of several team members, and based on averages and ratios we determined that Rapunzel's hair would weigh 20 pounds.

The "3-inch hair rule" (or sometimes the 2.25-inch rule) is a hairstylist's guideline to help you decide if short hair suits your face shape: place a pencil horizontally under your chin and a ruler vertically under your ear; if the measurement from the pencil to your earlobe (where the ruler sits) is less than 3 inches (or 2.25 inches), short hair will likely flatter you, while more suggests longer styles are better, though it's just a guide, not a strict rule.
