I prefer to hide the header when the user scrolls down and show it when the user scrolls up even slightly. I think it manages space better for small mobile phones.
I consider it like spammy behaviour and a form of intrusion/harassment when I can't scroll away from something I find very distracting totally unwanted, unclosable, un needed and stuck there in the way of the contents
An auto hiding headers by scroll gives the user a choice of their browsing area that they once had, A fixed header constantly stuck there doesn't take that in account.
I use StickHeaderHiderFixer by Emjostuff after 3 years of aggro from manually hiding them in developer tools and a bookmark killer I found
That's also a great option, and I'm done that for a few sites as well. You can also use sticky header in that situation and just animate its position with transform: translateY(-100%)

transform: translateY(-100%)It's NOT GREAT when uncloseable for those it distractions who don't want to see it constantly stuck there that they never had to before.
