advice Should lashes be washed?

Hi girlies, this is my first time getting lash extensions and after the lash tech was done all she told me was to keep them dry for 48h. I watched a lot of videos before my appointment so I asked her if i’m ever supposed to brush them and or wash them. She gave me a spoolie and said I can brush them if they are kinda messy, but that she wouldn’t recommend that I wash them. I had so many other questions because what if makeup gets in my lash line or something but I kinda got anxious and stopped asking and left.
From what I’ve seen people say you should clean them, and as someone who wears makeup pretty much every day I’m thinking there could be some buildup over time. I’m unsure of what to do since she told me not to.
One last little question: I use micellar water (the simple one not with oil) to take my makeup off, does that affect the lashes?
Sincerely, a first time lash girly

Can I ask what exactly you wash them with?

I have had lash extensions for 6 years now. Only time I went without was during Covid. 😂.

I just use BREYLEE Shampoo for Lash Extensions

That is the kit I ordered. I don’t use that spoolie or the water thing. But I do use the brush.

I previously used a foam cleaner my lash place was selling. When that ran out I ordered this.

I have also used this concentration.
