We’ve all heard the excuses behind Eva Longoria’s weight gain…BS…but here’s the scoop on her hair.  And it is pretty interesting.

More pictures after the jump…

Eva went to iconic stylist Ken Paves for her new, shorter do.  Her role on Desperate Housewives, the same one that she has gained the weight for, needed short hair.  Eva wore a wig for the first week of shooting, but hated it.  So, she chopped off the locks. 

Actually, she had her husband Tony do it.  Ken Paves asked Tony to make the first cut because that way, Eva could be mad at him instead of Ken if she hated her short hair.  Tony cut the long locks first, then Ken trimmed it up and made it look spectacular.  Would you let a significant other chop your hair?  No way here!
