Gaga Sings:
Hello? hello? baby you called?
I can't hear a thang.....
You probably couldn't hear anything because that outfit is so loud. But you gotta give props where props is due, and therefore I'm sending all my props in Lady Gaga's direction. Love her or hate her, she's got a unique look all her own. So for Halloween.... or maybe like a conservative family get together (note heavy sarcasm), you can use this i'ble to help recreate the famous soda can hair rollers look in her Telephone video.

When I was preparing to make this instructable, I stared into my bathroom for all the things I would need. And I just grabbed pretty much every hairspray, eye shadow, bobby pin, makeup brush, and face painting goodies (aka makeup) as I could, shoved them into a suitcase and drove to my friend's house (Im pretty sure my boyfriend was hoping I would never come back home with said bag, as my makeup has engulfed our bathroom...but i digress).
So below, I have a general list of things you will need. I will get more in depth on the photos of the brands and specific products I am using to achieve this look.
Things you will need:
-A willing model. Thankfully my friend Christina is already gorgeous to boot, so there was really no way to make her look bad. (You could also do this on yourself, but have a friend help with rolling the hair up)
-4-6 soda cans. It looks like she uses Diet Coke in the video.... all we had was caffeine free diet coke.... it really doesnt make a difference. Use Pabts cans for all i care... as long as they are a standard aluminum can, it should work fine. Be sure to rinse them out real good! No need to have warm, drippy, soda all over your hair and face.
Hair stuff:
-Lots of bobby pins
-Hair Spray
-Comb
-Clips (to section off the hair)
-Flat Iron
-Optional.... Dry shampoo or hair powder to create texture
-Optional.....Shine spray to finish the hair
Makeup:
-Makeup Brushes
-Foundation
-Setting powder
-Dark maroon lipstick
-Black eyeliner
-Mascara
-False lashes (at least two pair) and eyelash glue
-Eyeshadow Pallet (have at least a neutral pale whitish color, black, and dark brown for brows)
-Optional....highlight and lowlight makeup
-Optional....eyelid primer
-Optional...eyelash curler
Overall Look:
-Leather Jacket
-Hardware (For this look, we used a cool necklace)

The only thing I would have added is maybe a jacket with more studs. I love lady Gaga and I'm seriously considering doing this look for Halloween
THX!

But, I have an idea one might try: what if you took some of the extra sticky velcro strips (the hooky, scratchy part) and taped a couple/three strips to the can? It would turn it into a giant roller and stay in, too....
Oh how I wish my hair was still long just so I could try this!! lol
AWESOMENESS!
Also, the hole & bobby pin idea? Brilliant!!
The bobby pin trick worked and my friend said that they didnt feel loose at all. but after a long night, who knows how secure they are, unless you really went crazy with the bobby pins
i have a newly short hair do too, and would have loved to do this on myself. maybe next year
