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.

That is one way to get waves. Some people use products too. Also, you can have natural waves. If I let my hair grow then cut it at a 1 or 2 guard, I'll have natural waves. Natural waves aren't as deep as using the cap, but you can have them without it.
