What to do with a few scattered greys?

I'm early 30's and have noticed a few scattered greys coming through. They're quite hard to pluck out properly, I always seem to miss some.

My hair is its natural colour of dark blonde. I don't really want to commit to dying it regularly, I quite like it as it is.

My husband uses a just for men shampoo that has very subtly turned some of his greys back to brown, I was wondering if there was something similar for women? I know I could just use his "mens" shampoo but I'm a bit worried I will end up with hair exactly the same shade as his Grin.

One of those root touch up sprays? You could use the toning products as well but they are useful to just have to hand if you notice one or two greys, or if you're not bothered about them coming through when you're just in the house but want to cover them over if you go out.

They wash out every time you wash your hair, but are pretty cheap, particularly if you only use them occasionally. Home bargains does them for less than £2 but not sure in every shade. I stick the dark brown on if I notice a few greys just before I go out and don't have time to do anything more permanent.

The just for men stuff is only a semi-permanent dye marketed for men. If you use one that's a shade lighter than your natural colour it should cover the greys without changing the rest of your hair too much.
