If you're looking for hair for a reroot, I've got some links:

https://dollyhair.com/
https://restoredoll.com/
https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShimmerLocks
https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDollPlanetHair
https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheDollHairEmporium

If you're interested in a stuffed/cloth tail that doesn't have "knees", I'd recommend using an Obitsu body. They come apart easily, and you should be able to remove the legs without badly damaging the doll. If you you're just doing a slip on tail sheath that just covers the legs, a Made to Move Barbie is probably going to be your best bet as far as ease of acquisition.
