Unfortunately, there is not much she can do. One should NEVER henna
over a chemical dye, or vice-versa, because the affects could be
catastrophic. Maybe your only option here is a haircut...

: The trouble with henna is that it is made of different stuff to
your
: average chemical hair dye. For a start, it is permenant, but the
main
: thing is that normal hair dye won't cover it properly. My advice is
: to go and see a professional hair dresser who has dealt with henna
: before. Don't go to someone who doesn't know what they're doing -
: trust me, they could make it worse!
: They might suggest finding a henna dye that makes your hair dark,
: which I guess ought to cover your original henna (if anyone knows
: different, please tell me!). Navaid does different coloured henna
: hair dyes (www.navaidhenna.com). The Body Shop also do stuff, but
: when I tried it it made my hair in bad condition... Hope that helps.
: As a last resort, go for a cut ;)
