I'm a hairstylist 21 years.
If you use a Henna, remember that you will not be able to perm or use other kinds of color on your hair as henna contains metallic dyes that stay in your hair.
Also, in my opinion, Henna's are very bright and fake looking (Think I Love Lucy, she used Henna), and they don't cover grey very well.
The base color for all other hair color is Gold. Grey hair has lost it's gold, therefore it loses all the other color as the gold is the 'glue' that the other color 'sticks' to. So you need to pick a color that is at least as dark as your natural color, and try to pick one that has gold in it. Stay away from anything that says "Ash" or has an A... And stay away from Beige or B. Ash = green tone which is opposite of gold. Beige = pink tone, which will not help at all.
Look on the box for the letter G or something like "Medium Golden Blonde". The lighter hair colors are not as good at covering grey.
At the same time, don't go more than one shade darker than your natural color or it will look really fake.
Most of the over the counter products will work pretty well for covering grey. I like preference by loreal. If you go to Sally's beauty supply, tell them what you're looking for and look in the Roux permanent or semi permanent colors. You will only need a 10 or 20 volume developer if you aren't going lighter and you're just looking to cover the grey.
Good luck!
