Each single flip has 2 possible outcomes (h or t). After 6 flips there are 26 = 64 possible sequences. If you are trying to get 1 one of those particular sequences then that probability is 1/64 = 0.015625. The coin has no memory so it doesn't matter if the particular sequence you are trying to get is the same one you got before or a new one like hhhhhh or tttttt.
