For development, I usually buy "breakaway" headers, then break off how ever many pins I need, in this case 6. For production, you buy the exact count.
Everyone makes them, but here is an example: Manufacturer: 3M, stick of 36 breakaway right angle. Gold Plated contacts: Mouser Part #: 517-550-01-36 Manufacturer Part #: 929550-01-36-I or Tin Plated Contacts: Mouser Part #: 517-500-01-36 Manufacturer Part #: 929500-01-36 You should probably buy some straight pinned sticks at the same time.
