Black Asian hair and grey hairs

Whats the best way to blend in greys. My friends have blonde hair and the grey/white hair blends in seamlessly and beautifully.
I dont want to dye my hair black....because it will look too harsh and "obvious" any ideas?!

I was going to post about this very thing today! I have black hair with grey coming through. It's curly and I'm reluctant to dye it as I don't want to damage it. It's peppered throughout and so far I've just ignored it. I was tempted to maybe run a semi permanent dye through it. One of those ones you can wash in and out.

I'd be keen to hear advice on this too! I have black hair and lots of white coming through now - really reluctant to dry it black and I really struggle to lighten my hair unless I bleach it..

I don't have Asian hair, but am naturally very dark brown. I'm likely 50% grey, but never grown it out, so not sure.

I've been using L'oreal casting colours for years. Its a semi, so washes out after 28 washes or so. There is no bleach, so it won't lighten hair, but I've found it goes very dark at first.

My hair is like a dark chocolate colour, but I use light brown- otherwise, it comes out black. If you try these, I too would recommend a much lighter colour than you'd think you'd want- maybe try a medium brown and see how dark it comes out on your greys. Even a light brown might be enough- because they come out SO dark.

@MarmiteCoriander thank you for your advice. Very helpful and I appreciate it.

@Reverie83 - I meant to say that the casting colours are usually on special for 2 packs for £12 at asda/tesco so you could try say a light/med brown and also try a chocolate/iced chocolate another time.
