Can hair grow through concealing fibers?

janemosk
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.
