Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Wa Alaykum as Salam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

If you perform the wudu with the head covered, then you need to pass your wet hands on the head scarf. If you prefer to do wudu in a place wherein no non-mehrams are in sight then there is no harm if your head is not covered with a scarf and you can wipe your wet hands on your hair normally. Both ways are accepted and there is no restrictions.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.   Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
