Fursuit hair troubles,

I'm making a fursuit head for the first time with a friend and I've been told by numerous makers that a kanekalon braid would work perfectly for my Fursonas hair style, But I'm wondering if people have experienced negative outcomes with this synthetic hair.

I'm keeping an open mind to what might be best but the last thing I'd like to do is find a long pile in the same matching fur I already have for the character, does anyone have any helpful tips or pointers for me?
