He probably looks in the mirror and feels like he’s looking at a stranger. Have you talked to him about how he feels about it? Does he want to go as aggressive as hair transplants?

Yes, he's super self-conscious about it. It got pretty aggressive in the last year. He wears a hat basically every day now, which he can sort of get away with at college, but he's going to have to have a real job soon.

I was under the assumption the hair transplants these days really aren't that aggressive?

He needs to ditch the hat. People will eventually figure out he has no hair and his hat days will an emblem of his insecurity and delusion that he could hide it.
I knew a guy who wore a kerchief all thru school but it only served to highlight that he was trying to cover his pate.
A friend's son wears a hat in general but has to take it off indoors and the revelation of the pate is also a revelation of his insecurity.
People don't forget that the bald person tried to hide it.

On first introduction let it be and going forward it won't be an issue.
