You can try sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers if you're running raspbian.

As suggested here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=154749

Try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search linux-headers

It will list you the related packages.

At the moment there is no linux-headers for the 4.1.17 kernel version.

There are only headers for the 4.1.19 version for the 4.x branch. You can simply upgrade your kernel to the 4.1.19 version (now the newest stable branch showing 4.1.20):

sudo rpi-update f406502f5628d32e6ca5dadac34ff7ca59f8e27f

After install reboot your device and check typing uname -r if there is a 4.1.19-v7+ version. If it's OK, install linux-headers:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-4.1.19-v7+
