If it was actual henna powder, it will have to grow out. If you
absolutely hate it, brush your hair well and test the hair left in
the brush with a commercial dye. It may be fine, or it may melt the
hair and turn it green, or anywhere between. You don't know until
you test it, which is why you do NOT put it on your head without this
step. Henna and commercial dyes sometimes do not play well together.

If it was a henna-colored rinse, or a commercial dye with henna in
it, there will usually be a manufacturer's phone number for help that
you can call for advice. If it's commercial (chemical) then you can
PROBABLY dye over it. ASK FIRST. I'm not an expert on commercial
dyes.

Best of luck.
