MalePatternBaldness for 2 years now.(21 yo now). I succeeded in restoring the vertex nearly baseline, but the hairline is still progressing slowly. Should I add dutasteride to my regimen?

If you find a low proportion of small hairs, that’s normal. Everyone has that. If you collect all your shed hair over a week and find that more than 10-15 % are tiny hairs, that might suggest there is some androgenetic hair loss too. But finding one hair has no meaning whatsoever.
Not all the hairs on the scalp are the same size and finding some miniaturized hairs are normal. Generally speaking, the number is less than 10 %. Miniaturized and vellus hairs are a normal part of the scalp, it’s just they are not common.
Hi keith! yes minoxidil is safe and OK to use for you
It will be helpful to maintain the growth of the transplanted hairs and also delay the progression of hair loss
