My hair has never been dyed (used to dye it with box dye 10 years ago - but current hair I have is all natural)
My hair is very long (hip length) and has a few greys starting to appear through it - it's not a block of grey yet but some strands scattered throughout
I will want to start dying it soon if the greys start to become more noticeable, but I don't want damage or awkward demarcation lines and I want low maintenance.

Do you guys have any advice for me? My hair is a medium brown and I wouldn't mind going a bit darker. Advice I've had so far is to go and discuss with hairdressers but I know that could cause damage getting hair dye done at a salon. I used to use lush henna but they have apparently changed formula now and have bad reviews for them!

I have no clue what to do and I don't want to make a mistake as I have very healthy long hair - I know brown dye is less damaging than bleach but I don't want to risk a lot of damage but would just like some grey blending and a little tad bit darker without having to constantly maintain it!**I guess I'm wondering would semi permanent be enough for my greys and would it be that damaging? I've also heard of 'its pure' herbal dye.

For that amount of gray? Honestly it's not worth it. If they are sprinkled throughout and barely noticeable, I would not just yet. I myself am about 3% gray, but that means I have 97% of my color left. Right?

I would work with semis and demis that you can get from any hair beauty shop, a specialty shop. Do not use plain box dye if you are unsure. And yes those types of dye can cover gray; just ask your salesperson.

Toner will help they use 5 vol developer and Color, it won't lift your base color. It will last a couple months and fades out
