I was looking through some of the posts and I found most my answer however it's still not working properly for me.

The bar you see on the jsfiddle should be catching lower than the top because there is a fixed header that will be there on my main site this secondary bar is supposed to go below it. I can get it to be fixed on jsfiddle but not on my site. And as you can see it is shrinking when it changes to fixed.
HTML:
<header>
<img class="logo" src="images/headerLogo.png">
<p class="about lighter">ABOUT US</p>
<p class="contact lighter">CONTACT US</p>
<img class="getStarted" src="images/getStarted.png">
</header>
<div class="mainSection1">
<h1>SAVE TIME & MONEY</h1>
<h2 class="lighter">CONCIERGE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS</h2>
<p>$79.99 VALUE<br>FREE FOR YOUR CLIENTS</p>
<img class="getStarted" src="images/getStarted.png">
</div>
<div class="subBar">
<p class="first">VALUE</p> <p class="second">SERVICES</p> <p class="third">BRANDS</p> <p class="fourth">HOW IT WORKS</p>
</div>
JS:
var nav = $('.subBar');
if (nav.length) {
var fixmeTop = nav.offset().top -100;
$(window).scroll(function () {
var currentScroll = $(window).scrollTop();
if (currentScroll >= fixmeTop) {
$('.subBar').css({
position: 'fixed',
width: '100%',
top: '73px',
left: '0'
});
$('header').css(
'box-shadow', 'inherit'
);
} else {
$('.subBar').css({
position: 'static'
});
$('header').css(
'box-shadow', '0px 5px 9px #515151'
);
}
});
}
css:
.subBar {
background: #F1F1F2;
height: 65px;
}
.subBar p:first-child {
margin-left: 15%;
border-left: 1px solid #bbbdc0;
}
.subBar p {
float: left;
border-right: 1px solid #bbbdc0;
width: 17%;
text-align: center;
height: 44px;
margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 21px;
font-weight: lighter;
}
Issue has been solved! I decided to make a second navbar that starts hidden than is shown when I scroll down enough. It seems to be way less jumpy and isn't taking the original bar out of the dom (which messes with other elements below it).
