I'd say:
- Your actions have to speak louder. If you are a female, be a role model and inspiration and push yourself to be a great representative of what a Muslim female should be like. Make dua that you are sincere and stick with this for life Inshā'Allāh.

This is because whether you realise or not they will look to the people they know and equate those behaviours to a hijaabi.
- Talk to the person, is there something they're directly worried about? Have open minded conversations so that they can express what they're thinking and their feelings, that way you know which way to approach your advice.
- Tell them the things you love about it, have conversations about Hijaab etc with other people while they are there so that they can listen in. But you also, have to have love for the hijaab too.
So know why you are wearing it, how you should be wearing it and it's fine to have loads of reasons for it. (Of course the primary reason should be the Sake of Allah)
I've written a thread on why I wore the niqaab, see if it resonates with you and wearing hijaab.

- Think about when you first wore hijaab? How did you want to be treated when you started? Did you like it when someone criticized the one time you did something wrong etc. How would you have wanted them to help you?
Make sure you congratulate them on all small steps they make! Appreciate their efforts and motivate them. Remind them of why they are doing it and the fruits to come from it Insha'Allah :)
You can't force someone, it has to come from within or it won't be long term. Ultimately we can try our hardest but Allah guides whom he wills. So tell them to make duaa but you too make sincere duaa for the person too.
- A Wise (
) person said to me: Islam is about growth inducement. You don't shove something in someone's face + expect them to take it but rather take into consideration how they perceive it & what they have gone through. Your outlook in life can't be translated to someone else.

So make duaa Allah gives you strength in your actions but also the ability to inspire and teach others correctly.
So essentially, putting yourself in their shoes.
I hope this makes sense. This is very on the spur/moment response (Don't mean to become a whole thread
)
