The Age for a Girl to Wear Hijab

Question
At what age should a girl wear modest clothing and a hijab?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is recommended for a girl at an early age to wear it for the sake of habituation and upbringing, and it becomes obligatory if her exposure causes temptation, even if she is not yet of age. It is definitely required after she reaches maturity, which is marked by menstruation, and God knows best.
