The answer

Unveiling the head and baring the arms are forbidden by scholarly consensus, and no one should be obeyed in such matters, because there is no obedience to a creature in defiance of the Creator. A woman who does this without necessity is displaying herself. As for unveiling the face, there is a difference of opinion, but the preponderant view is the obligation to cover it, especially in mixed workplaces and when there is a fear of temptation.
