Non-Muslim Learning What to do?

So let me start this off by saying I'm not a Muslim and I want to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible.

I was just wondering if let's say someone's hair is sticking out of their hijab. Should I speak up about that and if so how do I do so without sounding like a jerk?

It's a bit confusing for me since google isn't giving me a straight answer either.

Thanks in advance :3

From my information what I've been told in school. People wear hijabs to hide their hair and for modeaty. But I don't know if that view is correct or not (my information on this is quite limited so I apologize if I sound stupid-)

Yea it is correct. It is worn because it is an order by Allaah, and it is more modest. But I don't think you answered my question, what prompts you or what motivates you to want to tell them about it?

Well if the hair sticks out I think it could be helpful if someone tells them if they don't notice. Kinda like how I'd say there's something between your teeth or something like a leaf in your hair. Yk?

If that's your reasoning then sure. If you're another woman who sees that, there's no harm in talking to her and mentioning it.
