Depending on how bad the issue was BEFORE the head gasket change... it could all just be residual smoke from the fluid(s) that are left in the exhaust.
Give it a few days of driving to see if it stops... try to drive it at 3000-4000rpm at steady highway speeds for awhile.
When the head gasket was changed, where the Valve Stem Seals also replaced?
Has a leak-down test been done to check the rings?
