Without knowing what kind of materials you are using, you can just 'leave the gray uncolored'. That is, draw around the grays.

If you are doing shadings, use your kneaded eraser to erase out the highlights in your sketches where you had already done some shading!

[try this on an extra piece of paper: do a solid medium shading in a 4x4 inch square, then use your eraser to 'white-out' areas you'd like highlighted in that area ...a nose, hair patterns, etc.] ALWAYS do a sample on another piece of paper before you do it on your GOOD paper! [LOL, my lesson learned!]

In one of my art classes, I once tried using a 12x12 black paper and only a white charcoal for a picture I saw in a National Geographic of a teenaged African girl. It turned out well for the first-time attempt; you have to think about where the highlights might go and remember, it is kind of like reverse shading. Best of luck!

My best advice is to observe closely. That is to say look closely at the texture and coloring of not only black peoples' hair but the variations in skin tone and texture. One thing you might try is to draw in the darker hair first then fill in the grey with short, curly lines, randomly spaced with white and grey pencils to mimic the individual hairs.

Not to be snippy but I would also recommend that Missy_Attitude observe people of different races and cultures more closely to see what the differences are. She is right, though, about looking at art books though there is very little in the "How-To" section on drawing people from varying ethnicities. I would suggest looking through the art magazine section for "Pencil Artist" and Drawing" magazines...
