While lash extensions are delicate, they're not delicate to the point of being fragile. They can withstand gentle care and attention. A good way to wash your lashes is by using a gentle foaming cleanser specifically designed for lash extensions. It's also important that you avoid being overly rough with them during the cleansing process; be gentle and thorough when lathering up your eyelashes so as not to rip off any of the extensions accidentally in your haste.

Be gentle.
When you're washing your lash extensions, be gentle. You don't want to rub them too hard or use a washcloth, cotton swabs or anything else that might be abrasive. In most cases, it's best to cleanse your lashes with just water and lash soap (no shampoo!). If you use any products on the extensions after they are applied, check with the technician before washing them off—they may need a quick wipe down with alcohol rather than being submerged in water.

You need cleanse your lashes after every shower or every time you wash your face.
The first step to washing your lashes is to make sure you have a gentle cleanser. We know it's tempting to use whatever you have in your medicine cabinet, but you must find something specifically made for lash extensions, that's best.
Once you've got your cleanser in hand, rinse off the makeup from your face (and hair) first with warm water and pat dry with a towel. Then turn on the faucet and wet both hands before applying some cleanser onto them; it should be a small amount but enough to make sure that all of your extensions are covered by about half an inch of foam or suds on each strand before moving on to lather up each section individually with one hand while holding on tightly with the other (to keep things clean). Don't forget under-nose area or nostrils! When done, rinse thoroughly until all traces of suds are gone.
Conclusion
Washing your eyelash extensions is something you should do every day, and it’s important to keep them clean so they last longer. If you want to keep your eyelashes looking great for as long as possible, make sure that every time you wash them—you use a gentle cleanser or soap and take care not to rub too hard.
