You're not getting rid of them. The only option to darken them is to use a dye. Even something like Henna is a dye.
A semi-permanent dye will wash out in a few weeks, depending on your shampooing habits. Demi-permanent and permanent dyes last longer.
I'm in my late 50's and have less than 10% gray hair. My problem is that they are concentrated in a couple of spots near my face so it's the first thing I see.
I was opposed to dyes because I have some scalp issues. I was afraid the dyes would make it worse. For a special event my stylist was able to use a demi-permanent dye in the areas with the most grey. (mine are concentrated in a few places). It blended in well and caused no issues. I've used a semi-permanent dye at home a few times when we were going on a vacation or for a special event. It changes the color from grey to a lighter shade of brown and the brown to a darker shade.
There are hundreds of recipes for homemade hair coloring online. They take a lot of effort to use and weeks for darkening, if they work at all. I do occasionally do a tea/coffee rinse on my dark hair. It seems to make it shiny, but doesn't really do anything for the color.
