Collection: JRL Dryers

The right JRL dryer depends on your budget and what you want from the tool. The 2020H Forte Pro is the higher-spec option, with a high-speed brushless motor, three temperature and three speed settings, auto-cleaning and a memory function. The 2020L is a more affordable option with four temperature and four speed settings. The Lamborghini Diamante Forte Pro Lite is another lightweight choice, combining ionic and ceramic technology with dual heat and speed settings.

The 2020H Forte Pro uses a high-speed brushless DC motor reaching up to 100,000 RPM and includes features such as auto-cleaning, a washable filter and memory function. The 2020L takes a simpler approach, using a 2200-watt motor with four temperature and four speed settings. Both use ionic technology and are designed to give barbers control over drying and styling, but the 2020H is the more feature-rich option.

A dryer isn't only used to finish a haircut. Barbers can use controlled airflow to remove moisture, add volume and direct the hair into its natural or intended shape before cutting. This can make it easier to assess how the hair sits and identify areas that may need further refinement. Concentrator nozzles are particularly useful when you want to focus airflow through a smaller area while using a brush or comb to control the hair.

Ionic hair dryers generate negative ions that help reduce static and frizz while drying. This can be useful when working with hair that becomes difficult to control once heat and airflow are introduced. JRL incorporates ionic technology across its dryer range, including the 2020H, 2020L and Lamborghini Diamante Forte Pro Lite. It's worth considering alongside airflow, heat settings, weight and attachments when choosing a dryer for regular barbering and styling.

Regularly checking and cleaning the filter helps prevent hair and debris from building up and restricting airflow. The JRL 2020H Forte Pro has a washable filter and an auto-cleaning function that reverses the motor turbine to help expel particles from the filter. JRL recommends cleaning the 2020H filter at least twice a week with a clean tint brush. Whichever model you use, always follow the specific cleaning and maintenance instructions supplied with your dryer.
