This may not be short enough, but the Painter hair for 3-Dream's Master Skull Cap is one of my favorites. Here's a sample:

Also, you might find Joequick's Hero hair suitable (comes in his Golden Age hero clothing set for M4). It's strand based and has a lot of morphs to play with. I've done some short hair styles with it, mostly mohawk and slicked back hair. It may be too thin/sparse for close ups.

Here's the store link (see the product image of sample hair styles):

It's now unavailable to buy, However, he gave away the set on ShareCG, but I'm not sure if it includes the hair. You might want to download the ShareCG set to see. If the hair interests you.

Hope this helps!
