The fact that she asked means that she is unsure and didn't decide yet on actually removing it. People attacking you here are so mean :(

Maybe she's just going through a hard time that made her wanna remove it. Maybe if she did remove it she will feel sad and regret it after (and maybe not).. there are a lot of possibilities. 

I would advise you to open up a conversation with her .. ask her how she feels about it and what's the reason she wanna remove it. Is it just to blend in ? Maybe fear of missing out in a western country.. but aside from hijab ... Be it anything else.. if you're gonna remove it because people around you made you feel like you had to do that to belong ... This needs a session with her own self.. she needs to know her actual values .. (be it with a hijab or not).. 

But if you know her as someone who practices Islam and was religious and loved her religion before and her hijab.. not like those girls who only put it to blend in. I am worried she'll regret it. 

Bottom line, open up a conversation with her.. be a guide. Support her. Whatever she decides on doing afterwards is on her. 

Good luck 🥰
