A hair curler having a spool for receiving a lock of human hair for wrapping thereabout a core disposed between a rim of the spool and a clip having a first portion and a second portion joined together by a hinge, for clamping the spool and the lock of human hair together for producing a curl in the lock of human hair is disclosed. The spool and the clip of the hair curler, in combination, produces a curl in the lock of human hair when the clip is placed on, and releasably secured to the spool with the lock of human hair sandwiched therebetween the spool and the clip without the clip directly contacting the lock of human hair. The first portion and the second portion of the clip are pivotally connected together by a hinge. The first portion and the second portion being biased toward each other when in use by fabricating the clip from a flexible material which inherently allows the material to flex and to bow when the first portion and the second portion of the clip are gently urged toward each other. For releasably retaining the first portion and the second portion of the clip in engagement with each other a keeper is formed on the first portion where an apex of the second portion releasably engages the keeper. To make the invention even more useful, for aligning the clip onto the spool, the addition of a guide is disposed on the first portion of the clip about midway along a length of the first portion for engaging the spool having a bore centrally disposed therethrough so that the clip may be aligned on the spool by human feel when the guide is seated in the bore of the spool.
