Need more info: Head butting can be the result of many, typically behavioral, causes. A detailed discussion is needed to best determine the cause. Please see your child's physician to help determine the cause and what measures you can take to reduce the behavior.

Possibly, however...: Many children have poor frustration tolerance anyway and if impulsive act on the feeling of frustration with little regard to consequences (like a headache, broken wall, etc.). Your son may have more going on emotionally and it is worth checking out with your health provider.
