There's a style of connector that mates with these headers and takes
individual wires with crimped-on contacts that snap into a housing.  If
you just used the housing without putting any contacts and wires in it,
that might work.  I don't know if it might be too loose to stay on without
the spring force of the contacts gripping the pins, though.

Here's an example product:
