I think that you will rock your short hair, just go for modern cut, and create some texture inf your hair by using styling product.
The type of product I like the best and that is easiest is styling gum, styling clay, sometimes they are called vax. But it is not old style greasy product. It is easy to style hair with it, and hair stay flexible, you can run your fingers through hair in the end of day to create a edgier messier look.
It is a pity that I can not find organic brand product of this type.
Other product I use is styling hair powder, you can do anything with that, it can be used also on long hair to provide volume. The only con it can dry your hair.
examples of products, but many brands now have this type of things.
