How did Hercules defeat the hydra?

Question

How did hercules stop the hydra's heads from regrowing?

Answer 1

The Hydra was the spawn of Typhon and Echidna. A dragon-kind, with multiple heads, who breathed a deadly venom. The creature's specific purpose was to test Herakles. Its den was in the marshes around Lerna in the Peloponnese. During this labor, Herakles was assisted by his nephew, Iolaus, son of his twin brother, Iphicles. Iolaus lit the marshes on fire to drive the Hydra to Herakles. In battle, Herakles would behead a part of the monster, but a new head would grow in its place. The only way to utterly defeat it was for Herakles to cut off a head and Iolaus to cauterize it. After the last head was defeated, the body was buried. The Hydra's blood was also poisonous, so Herakles dipped all of his arrows in it, making them even more deadly.

Hercules attacked the Hydra and began to chop off its many heads. Yet each time he chopped off a head, the Hydra would grow two more in its place. He called on his friend Iolaus to burn each wound which did not allow the heads to grow back. In this way he defeated the Hydra. Eurystheus refused to count this labor because Hercules had help in completing it.

Hercules set off for Hydra's Lair with Iolaus then each time Herc would cut a head off Iolaus would burn the stump so it wouldn't come back. That's what I've read.
