You need to get the HttpRequestMessage from the current OperationContext. Using OperationContext you can do it like so

HttpRequestMessageProperty requestProperty = messageProperties[HttpRequestMessageProperty.Name] as HttpRequestMessageProperty;

string customHeaderValue = requestProperty.Headers["Custom"];
