The answer

If the heavy bleeding stops but its color remains, then you are in menstruation (hayd) and must await either the "white discharge" (al-qassah al-bayda') or complete dryness of the vaginal area. You are not obligated to pray or fast at that time. However, if the blood stops completely and the cloth inserted into the vagina becomes dry, then this is a valid purification (tahara shar'iyya), and there is no need to wait for six days.
