“Did all your hair fall out of your head,” I asked, “or did you cut it off?” Everybody laughed, even though I didn’t say anything funny. Miss Daisy looked at me with a mean face. “Actually, it was both,” Principal Klutz replied with a chuckle.

I think “it was both” can be paraphrased as follows.
It was relevant to both reasons.
Or
It was caused by two reasons.
Am I right?
