Going blonde to brunette! Help please?

So I started dying my hair about two an a half maybe three months ago and I went from a medium brown to blonde-ish. We foiled my hair to put a bunch of highlights in and bumped my base but it's just not getting blonde enough. I want to go back to brown and be like a dark brown. My question is what process does that require? Do I have to do a color correct and then dye it, or do I have to gradually go darker and darker? How long do you think it would take to get to dark brown? Please only answer if you have a helpful suggestion. Professional hair dressers opinions are wanted, but I'll gladly accept anyone's serious answer haha. I'll put pics of my color now and what I wanna be too. Thank you!

This is me now (blonde) just ignore the fact that I'm crawling through a tunnel haha:

And the 2 girls on the end are the color I want to be (dark brunette):

    I was blonde my whole life and foiled my hair to help it along when it started going darker, and one day i just went and died it dark brown using color from sallys and it was great. no big process just died it. even though i was previously getting highlights in my hair. since i was blonde before i had allot of highlight show through which i like in my brown hair! im not professional but just going and dying it worked. just dont go buy your color at walmart in a box. either go and have it done or go somewhere that sells good color

    I am dark brown naturally, and thought red woul be great. Not really. I called the Salon/Spa and told them what I wanted done. They fixed it, just by a single process. Now, my natural color is back and I am happy. The spa matched my color to my root color, so you may have to grow out your hair a little. Good luck, and stay within a shade or do of your natural color. :)
