Pimple-like bumps in the head after a haircut, how are they caused?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: Red bumps on the scalp can occur when the hair shaft is pulled from its follicle, creating irritation and inflammation. Occassionally, fungus or bacteria enter the follicle, creating an infection which requires treatment.
