That just sounds like new growth to me. As the curls pull into the head, they pull the other hair with it. For me, this has always been the case.

12 weeks is a lot of new growth. So if you know your hair hasn't been breaking and it feels thick and healthy otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's not shrinking (as in disappearing)....
Basically ur newgrowth (curly) is growing in & "lifting" the straight laying relaxed hair around it. Yes, it does give the appearance of shrinking relaxed hair, but actually the relaxed hair is merely being "lifted" by the more curly/thicker (newgrowth) around it Hope I didn't confuse u...
