While your cursor is in the header, go to the Home menu and find the Border
button (rightmost in the second row of the Paragraph group). Click the down
arrow on the button and click Borders and Shading at the bottom of the dropdown
menu. In the dialog that opens, first make sure the Apply To box is set to
Paragraph. The items in the middle column of the dialog let you change the
style, color, and width (thickness) of the border line. Then click the bottom
line of the preview to apply the changes, and click OK.
