Other than that, though, he's pretty awesome! Step 1: Have some Pickpocketing skill. This whole method works much easier if you have the Perfect Touch perk, but it's not necessary for this, explained in later step(s).

Step 2: Hire him as a follower. Give him a closed helmet that's stronger (higher Armor Rating) than his Chitin Helmet. Works much better if the helmet you give him is tempered, he's more likely to wear that instead of his default Chitin one it if it is...enchanting it could help too. His Light Armor skill is higher than his Heavy Armor skill (I'm quite certain), so he's more likely to wear his Chitin Helmet instead of whatever non-tempered Heavy Armor closed helmet you give him.

Step 3: Take him to a place where no one else can see you (so you don't get in trouble for step 5).

Step 4: Dismiss him ("It's time for us to part ways").

Step 5: Quickly after dismissing him, and before he goes to the next zone, sneak up on him and pickpocket his default Chitin Helmet from him, without him noticing! If he notices you pickpocketing from him he'll take his Chitin Helmet back, and attack you, even if he excepts your yielding he'll likely still have taken his Chitin Helmet back from you, and will wear it again later..

Step 6: Hire him again. He'll likely re-join you, for no charge. If he's not wearing his default Chitin Helmet (he'll likely be hat-less at this point, he won't change headgear right away until you take things out or put things into his inventory), you've done the method correctly.

Step 7: Now you can give him any headgear you want to see him wear, and he'll wear it! Even hoods, hats, circlets, if he has no helmets in his inventory.
