And yet, as Rashi says, they wore it “linoy”, to beautifuy themselves. Does it make sense they wore something “short, stiff, and wiggy-looking.” to beautify themselves?

Sure. Compared to a bald head or even compared to plain cloth head covering, a short, stiff, and wiggy-looking covering is a beautification.

Besides, the standards for beautification within the confines of one’s home is different than what is permissible in the streets outside one’s home.
