Here is a JS fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/ke9kW/1/

As the others say, set the header to fixed, and start it with display: none

then jQuery

  if ( $(this).scrollTop() > 200 && !$('header').hasClass('open') ) {
    $('header').addClass('open');
    $('header').slideDown();
   } else if ( $(this).scrollTop() <= 200 ) {
    $('header').removeClass('open');
    $('header').slideUp();
  }
});

where 200 is the height in pixels you'd like it to move down at. The addition of the open class is to allow us to run an elseif instead of just else, so some of the code doesn't unnecessarily run on every scrollevent, save a lil bit of memory
