and then count them again.

well it would've driven me nuts if they were truely shuffled, taking each complete guy from one place to another. But what they did is a graphic manipulation based on the position of those guys and the cutting line that cuts them all except for one guy in the back row who remains a whole guy after cutting and adds up when shifted to the left.
So when they are twelve take a look at the first guy from the left, next his hair is cut and replaces the hair of another guy on the right side but nothing comes to replace his cut hair, and he is counted as a whole person when his hair is full and when his hair is cut. In this process the process of not replacing his cut hair, another whole guy comes and replaces nothing (who is the second guy from the right in the back row when they are 12). So we end up having a guy whose hair is cut and not replaced instead another whole guy comes so they increase by one and become 13.
