1 I am cutting off my hair. I am cutting my hair. What is the difference?
2 What is the name for the spray used when sports players sprained their ankles? “muscle pain relieving spray?"
Thank you for your time

1) "cutting off my hair" would imply you are cutting your hair very, very short. For myself, I say it when I shave my head like here in my profile photo. For a woman, you might hear it said when very long hair is shaved or cut very short, like when donating your hair or selling it to a wig maker. "Cutting my hair" can be used the same way or more generally as well for any haircut.
2) I only see that spray used in football (soccer to me ^_^). My British friends call it "magic spray" because of the way players immediately jump up and are healed like magic from their fake injuries. It is a numbing cold spray which would help with a very minor injury but not do anything for a serious injury. I do not know if it has a proper name.

There isn't any difference between "I am cutting off my hair." and "I am cutting my hair."
As for the spray, I don't know. I don't know of any spray to relieve any muscles.
