How should I dye highlighted medium brown hair black?

my hair is a medium brown with streaks of blonde and I am planning on dying it black. Is it suggested that i go dark brown then black, or just start with black.
also wondering if there are any suggested hair dye brands??

if you want to go black you need to add NRP back to the bleached pieces or they wont hold the black. So dye your hair red then dye your hair black.

Dont do it yourself though.
