tafseer hadith-interpretation hijab culture

                          The Qur\an does not specify that women must cover their hair. It merely says that they have to preserve their 'beautiness' (e.g. ornaments). Wearing hijab was a norm prior to the spread of Islam and was common all over the world in many cultures. The other cultures gradually abandoned it but our culture still holds on to it. Many Arabs are conservative and still attached to their old culture and tradition, that's why they interpret it in that way. Why women should wear hijab if I can interpret what Qur\an says in a different way than conservative Arabs (not about religion but about culture) do?
