Ryan Reynolds' wife Blake Lively said that her hair is her security blanket! The "Gossip Girl" star revealed that she would never cut off her long blonde locks because they make her feel more confident.

Lively confessed to the France issue of ELLE magazine, ''My hair is my security blanket, it helps me conquer my shyness. I like having a lot of it, like a curtain, and I especially like it to look natural, like it hasn't involved any effort.

''My secret for that is my Mason Pearson hairbrush, which gives my hair volume and shape.''

Ironically, although the actress prefers to achieve an effortless look she admitted that the process takes some time. She said, ''My colorist, Rona O'Connor, is a real artist. She looks at hair like it's a canvas and thinks about color in a special way..."

She continued, ''I have an appointment every six to eight weeks, when I feel brave enough to sit in a salon for three and a half hours!''

Although a high-end hair appointment may seem very Hollywood, Lively admits she isn't the typical celebrity. She told Elle, ''I don't exercise! But I should, because I know what happens when I don't... It's a lot nicer when you're pulling on your jeans to not struggle to do up the top button.

''I love to eat! Its one of my favorite things in life, so there's no way I'd deprive myself of something, it would be like banning myself from my biggest hobby.

''I love cooking too... so, no, you can't really say I pay attention to what I eat...''
