He also posed with his doctor at KSL Clinics, who previously did the hair transplant of radio DJ Dean McCullough before he entered the I'm a Celeb jungle last year.
Sharing before and after photos, Wil explained that, despite his young age, he has been dealing with a receding hairline 'for years' and wanted a permanent solution.
He wrote: "After many years of using various methods to help mask my hair loss, I've decided to go for a permanent solution.
"Even though this is a permanent solution it still requires consistent use of hair care products to maximise results. 💆‍♂️"
Promising he would "keep you guys posted on my journey", he thanked the clinic before declaring: "Now time to rest up and recover."
Fellow 2024 Love Islander Ronnie Vint was first to send his support, writing: "Yes brother 👏" in the comments.
His girlfriend, Uma Jammeh, also shared her celebration of the decision, simply writing: "Yay!!!!!" in the comments too.
However, others were confused by the star's decision, with one writing: "i thought his hairline was sound tbf"
Another added: "What is wrong with going bald?? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Some extremely attractive bald men" prompting another to add "he would have looked amazing bald."
Wil's decision comes after he and Uma moved into their swanky new home in London – less than a year after getting together on Love Island.

Uma entered the show as a bombshell but ended up quitting the show shortly after Reuben Collins tried to swipe her in a coupling up and Wil was dumped from the island.
Rather than stay with Reuben, Uma instead announced that she would be leaving too, and they've been together ever since,
The duo shared videos of their new pad in May, boasting panoramic views of the city and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Uma has also become the face of a six-figure ad campaign for L'Oreal Paris, being branded their "Chief Gloss Officer".
