I have been watering my palm everyday but I believe it was short water in the winter months and it has 2 branches that look like they not going to come back. Very whitish brown.I have been told a couple of different things concerning cutting them off or not cutting them off.

Certified ExpertA.If it is dead, then cutting it off would be a good idea. Generally, though, a single branch dying off would indicate a pathogen. Usually, this is caused by overwatering, rather than underwatering. In the case of underwatering, the plant will show signs of wilt and decay, evenly.
Once you remove the branch, it will be necessary to treat the disease AND the environmental conditions that caused it.
Fungicides will be necessary. This article will help:

Make sure to let your tree dry out down to at least 3 or 4 inches, thoroughly, between watering, but don't let it suffer from a drought.

Certified ExpertA.It is possible that it will try and sprout new growth, but likely, you will find yourself with new palm pups!
These can be allowed to take over, or transplanted out, but do not cut the original until you see pups.
