Tingling or pins and needles in the face and neck is likely caused by irritation of the cervical (C1-C4) nerves, Trigeminal nerve, or parts of the spinal cord, brainstem or brain responsible for the sensory component of the head and neck. It is impossible to determine the specific nerve without doing a proper neurological exam. A good chiropractor or neurologist should be able to perform the cranial/cervical nerve screening tests to determine exactly where the problem is.
Determining what the problem is with that specific nerve may be a bit more difficult. Sometimes orthopedic tests, imaging or bloodwork can identify the problem right away. Sometimes it is a matter of trial and error with therapies in order to determine a specific cause. Some of the problems that could cause tingling or pins and needles are:
spinal joint dysfunction, herniated disc, vascular disorders, infections, poisoning, Diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, tumors, injuries, etc.
If a specific cause is not identified, a good course of action would be to try to treat the potentially simple causes first (eg: joint dysfunction or herniation) with conservative treatments (eg: manipulation). If conservative therapy to treat the problem is not effective, or the problem gets worse, then less conservative therapies (eg: medication/surgery) for potentially more complex problems (eg: infection or MS) would be indicated.

This could be true, if you wake up and you're feeling the pins and needles sensation. However, if you have chronic problems with this pins and needles sensation, called paresthesia, it could indicate a problem with the functioning of neurons. And if it is chronic you should see a doctor.

What would cause a severe headache on the right side of head follows by constant pins and needles in the right leg?
What you're describing could be a very serious medical issue, and if it doesn't go away within a very short period of time you need to get to the hospital immediately and get checked. Constant pins and needles in your right leg could be a sign of a number of things, including stroke or nervous system damage. The feeling of 'pins and needles' is usually caused by nerves that have been deprived of oxygen getting back into their ready state. Constant pins and needles could be a sign of damage to the nerves connecting the leg to the brain. If the damage were from a stroke, the left side of your brain would be the one to worry about, as the left side of the brain controls the right side of your body, and vice-versa. However, the brain itself has no sensory receptors, so if it gets damaged you wouldn't be able to feel it. This also means that your headache is caused by pressure in the tissue outside of the brain, not the brain itself. A severe headache is too general a symptom to say that it is or is not related to the pins and needles, but again, if you feel that it is directly linked with the pins and needles, or it doesn't go away soon, ask your doctor.
