Was your henna done with natural henna, which gives a color in the
red-brown-orange spectrum, or was it something called "henna" that
gave a different color? (Hopefully it wasn't black... please read the
warnings about PPD/"black henna" if this was the case.) This will
make all the difference.
Natural henna is fairly easy to get out of textiles, especially non-
natural fibers. "Colored henna" is notorious for causing stains that
are almost unremovable. I only use natural henna, so I can't help you
if the stains are caused by something else... though you might want
to check the stain remover section of the laundry or auto section of
the local drugstore.
