Is there any hair that's passingly close to Merida's do?

Everything I've seen is either too flat or too high up (ie: afro)

Not 100%, but here's a few that might do the trick.

...I use two instances of 3Dream's Bolina Hair

Thanks, doing this for a commission. Kyoto's suggestion appeals the most, though I love those other hairs and wishlisting them. ;)
I've been looking for something similar to make Zoe from Firefly ever since I started in DAZ. I've come across some of the ones you linked, but haven't tried them out yet. I'd prefer one that supports both when its loose and when it's gathered, but that seems unlikely.
...warning, Bolina Hair has a lot of morphs so it is a bit tricky to use. I found using only one instance not to be full looking enough so it means having to do twice the work. I also adjusted the colour of the second instance slightly to give a little more depth.
Note: The example above is 3DL not Iray. I haven't tried this yet with Iray. Also don't use G3F or a lot of the morphs won't work properly since they are parented to the neck and G3F has two neck bones instead of 1. For the character, I used the original Genesis and Teen Julie as the basis with a little Mavka and Sadie as well as a lot of head shaping using Z, and Y axis scaling.
