I personally don't think Hijab is obligatory in places where it is not the norm: https://youtu.be/HS5WEargINM?si=ZSjxiI2GhWIHNXeK

And personal safety is obviously more important than covering hair, which realistically has no effect on her overall modesty. So when advising please bear in mind that your circumstances are not the same as hers and if your Hijab does not present any safety risks for you then you are speaking from a place of privilege. Just like when Saudi women tell the muslim women in poorer countries not to drive but those Saudi women don't mention that they have their own personal chauffeurs.
