If it's wood, you want to clean it really well - maybe with TSP. A light sanding is also a good idea to give it some 'tooth' - helps the paint stick. Give it at least one coat of primer and let it dry. Then paint the headboard white.
You could use chalk paint which wouldn't require any priming. Here are my tips: https://www.aratariathome.com/blog/chalk-paint-tips
Use a really good primer first, you may need to do multiple coats to cover up the dark wood.
Hi ! Try chalk paint ! It covers well !
