Probably all he needed was a good bath. Seawater can make you feel really rough around the old scalp follicles. Last summer, I spent whole days at sea in my little sailing boat and was glad to get a fresh water shower when I got back to the camp site - and I was still very shorthaired.
If I were advising the poor guy, I might have suggested a good brush and comb, perhaps get rid of the split ends and a beard trim. Then he could say what he preferred...
But I agree that this expression is incredibly patronizing and symptomatic of the "Orwellian" world.
