By employing the teaching of the present invention, all of the difficulties and drawbacks found in conventional prior art hair curlers/rollers are eliminated. By providing a fully integrated, elongated body member which comprises an elongated central section having a generally rod-like construction, an enlarged loop or eyelet formed at one end of the central section, and elongated continuous, multi-segmented finger member formed at the opposed end of the central section, an easily used, one-piece, clipless hair curler/roller is provided. In addition, all portions of the hair roller/curler are inherently flexible, enabling the central section to be used for receiving the user's hair is wound thereon in the desired manner, and once completely wound thereon, the hair fibers are quickly and easily held in place by flexibly moving the multi-segmented finger member into the loop or eyelet until the hair fibers are locked in place about the central section thereof. Furthermore, the hair curler/roller of the present invention also incorporates color changing, temperature sensitive material formed over a major portion thereof which is constructed for providing a clear, distinctive, and visually recognizable color change. As a result, the use of the hair curler/roller at the appropriate time, or temperature, is easily determined by the user.
