The grey is where people commonly place highlights, being a guy I don't want to change the colour of the rest of my hair, what products will colour the grey but not the rest of my hair? any suggestions?

I have medium-light brown hair where it's not grey.

Highlighting your hair may seem like a reasonable solution to your premature graying, but overall it is not going to solve your problem without causing problems of its own. When you highlight the hair you will either have to have it pulled through a frosting cap or "foiled" which doesn't require a cap, but the separation of individual hair strands for the application of bleach. Both techniques will provide you with beautiful highlights, but they require a great deal of maintenance. That maintenance requires that you see a stylist every 6 weeks to do touch-ups so that the highlights don't result in "roots", a line of demarcation that makes your coloring attempt obvious to everyone. My suggestion is for you to give haircolor a try. There is a product available called "Just for Men" and it will only involve 5 minutes of your time to work. This product is a semi-permanent haircolor, it contains no perioxide which means it will not change your natural color at all, it will simply coat the gray hairs and make them appear much more like highlights, closer to what your hair would naturally lighten if you spent a lot of time in the sun. This product does wash out gradually and will need to be reapplied every 6 weeks, but it won't produce any dramatic changes at all, so you won't have "roots" to deal with, ever. They also have formulas for your facial hair, if you have any that is becoming gray. They have a website so you can read up on the product and get a free sample to try it out. http://www.justformen.com/

Just go to any store to the hair colour section and pick a colour.. (no theres no diff between female & male hair dye.. no matter what the TV wants you to think.. in fact the "for men only" stuff is the crappier stuff..
Yould likely be better to just do a brown dye job overall though..
I've been dying my hair over 20 years.. and not because of grey.. Pink ,purple, brown, black (my fav) if i remember right i used to be a blonde LOL

definitely do blonde hightlights, they hide the grey really well. I have dark brown hair and it really works well to do highlights.
Also, if you don't want to color, see a salon for a color stick... its a cover up for your hair that matches the color and washes out when you shower.

I'd say go to a salon-they can get you started on the right track to make it look natural and show you how to do it right by yourself.

A good hairdresser should have no problems doing that for you.
