Near my part, the toppik fibers I use tend to build up on the scalp in a clumpy manner. If I touch anywhere near the area, I can feel a good clump of toppik. If I scratch it out I might scratch out some hairs, and I can't seem to hide the thinning in this area without the clumpiness. My concern is- how can hair possibly grow if there is this buildup of fibers on the scalp blocking it? Thank you.
Answer: Hair Fibers do not block hair growth but may cause folliculitis if used too soon after transplant Hair grows from the root up and rarely do the follicles get "blocked." However, If you have a lot of fibers left on your scalp day after day and not washing them out, this may lead to an increase in the natural oils and seborrhea which is a scaly inflammatory condition of the scalp. Inflammation CAN impede hair growth. It's fine to use hair fibers, just wash them out regularly and keep your scalp clean and healthy. Also don't start using them too soon after a hair transplant as the fibers can irritate the new grafts and cause inflammation.

Answer: Toppik As long as you're using the Toppik properly (don't just overload your scalp with it) and washing it out on a regular basis, it shouldn't cause an issue with your hair growth.

Answer: Does TOPPIK block hair growth? No, camouflaging fibers do not block hair growth. You can use these without that concern. If you are using topical treatments, (such as minoxidil) these must be completely washed out before application of the minoxidil.

Answer: Can hair grow through Toppik fibers The answer to this question is generally Yes the hair can go through Toppik as mostly they just sit on the scalp. What you want to be careful of though is using so much that they get into the hair follicles themselves and damage those.
