You certainly can using the Redactor [Formatting config](https://imperavi.com/redactor/docs/settings/formatting/).

Locate the config file for the Redactor setting you want to edit in `craft/config/redactor` and add this line:

`"formatting": ["h1", "h2", "h3"],`

Or any combination of elements you want to be made available.

For those reading this who can't see the Formatting option for their Redactor field, it's also worth mentioning you need to have the [Formatting button](https://imperavi.com/redactor/docs/settings/buttons/) set up in the same config file:

`"buttons": ["format"],`
