Agreed. Unlike the 80s trend of "big hair", metal haircuts these days cover pretty much the whole spectrum. Heck, I'm just looking at BTBAM and you got 5 different styles right there.
I love to see a good Skullet at concerts (bonus points for corpse paint that goes up the bald head) but really I think people should be encouraged to dress/style themselves however they like, regardless of what music they listen to. I'm a weekend warrior with a regular 9-to-5 so I can't really do anything exciting with my hair.
One of my favorite things about metal is how accepting it is, you could get out of your office job throw on a band shirt and headbang to whatever and no one gives a shit. Also Halford gave rise to the bald metalhead in 1990.
Just looking at bands and people at shows I go to I see pretty much everything. Can't really nave a not metal haircut IMO.

Have whatever hair style you like

Most people in metal have to have jobs on the side now so I don't think the skullet is feasible.

I always found the Cherokee haircuts to be quite metal. (Edit: Mohawk? not 100% sure what's it called)
Generally black metal band members either have long hair or shave their heads. Case in point:
Behemoth - band leader has short hair, rarely shows his hair
Behemoth - band leader generally wears some headwear that hangs down to shoulders, other band members either have long hair or shaved head.
Other examples:
Taake - 2 long 1 bald
Shining - 2 long 2 bald
The punk rock mohawk is straight up awesome. I can't pull it off anymore, sadly.
