The answer

A Muslim woman must wear a full, concealing hijab covering her entire body when going out or in the presence of a non-mahram man. This includes covering all the hair on her head, as it is 'awrah (private parts that must be covered) that must be concealed from non-mahram men, by the consensus of scholars. An exception to this is when they are alone in their homes or in the presence of mahrams (unmarriageable kin). Girls who do not adhere to this must be advised while their shortcomings are concealed.
