I've got a long dark purple wig I used for cosplaying Rarity from My Little Pony, and I still want to put to use! Who do you know that has long dark purple curly hair?
Sorry I don't know of any characters with dark purple curly hair. :l
You could straighten it, it would give you some mais options.
Cornelia Li Britannia from Code Geass has wavy/curly hair. Yoruichi from Bleach has long dark purple hair. Ririchiyo Shirakiin from Inu x Boku SS has long straight dark purple hair with bangs.
