So this is my theory, before the episode Kiras powers were very basic or weak and posses little control over them. They were:

Superhuman abilities (Speed,Strength,Agility)                                                                     She can absorb electricity and produce very little amounts of it (Enought for turning lightbulbs and repair a sword)                                                                                                    Unconcious and not too powerful healing (Just the neccesary for healing basic wounds and sickness)

But in last episode, she learned how to control her healing to the point she was able to heal a fatal wound, which lead to the creation of her first tail. My theory is that in the next season (or seasons if they are more) every time Kira discovers a new Kitsune ability or learns to control one, a tail will appear,representing that power

For example:  When Kira learns to produce powerful attack lighting bolts,she will get a tail, when she discovers how to summon spirits like the Oni or the Nogitsune she will get another.

This could also explain why after Noshiko destroyed all her tails she lost most of her powers, because she gave each one of them so she could use that magic to summon the oni.
