What to do with greys coming through without it looking dyed?

My hair colour was dark brown and I've been dyeing it, until 2 years ago with permanent dark brown, more recently with temporary dark brown. I've left it for five months and boyes there's a lot of grey wiry hairs along my parting and in my side fringe.

I'm worried if I dye it dark brown again it'll look false, dyed, but semi permanent isn't really covering the grey for long.

Is there anything I can do to make it look less grey but natural? Highlights or something? It's curly and looks untidy st the best of times... but I'm just not ready to go completely grey as it makes me look older than I am.

Following - I need the same advice, and I’m only 34 Confused. I’m tempted to go down the highlights route but not sure how the blonde will turn out as it’ll be on coloured hair.

Following. I've got a scattering around hairline and a few sticking up in parting. Never dyed it so clueless. Also dark brown so the whites really stick out. I attempted to dye just a few hairs with home dye kit!! Obviously it didn't work out.

Leave it and just let it grow! Natural grey hair can look absolutely beautiful. Just ensure you get really good cuts
