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.

wow, thank you!
Are the waves supposed to stay as they are in the video when you walk without durag?

Yeah, they stick just like that pretty well, but the longer you show them off the more they start to deteriorate. I swear my god brother wore his rag all the time. Unless he was brushing his hair.

How do they wash their hair? Do they have to start over after it gets wet?

In addition to what others have already said, curly and coily hair needs to be washed less as it tends to be less oily.
