A hair curler permanently associated with a spring clip via connection to a spherical member which is located within the interior of the roller freely movable both longitudinally and rotatably. In use, the spring clip may be withdrawn or unclamped from the roller whereupon the spherical member becomes journalled at one end of the roller so that the spring clip is universally positionable and, in particular, movable to a position transverse to the axis of the roller.
