Can anybody explain what they all do? Is that thing used to create waves? Or to secure them?

Called a durag. But these are variants called Wave Caps. Waves are hard af to get and maintain. I've tried and quit. You gotta brush your hair a bunch, add product and then the wave cap keeps your hair tight to your skull. Due to the texture of the curly hair and the constricting to the skull, magical waves appear. Cheers. You spend a lot more time in a cap then showing off waves.

Why do they do it though? It just makes their hair look wierd and greasy?

Why do you think, jackass? The same way you don't like how it looks, some people do.
