You just need to add some padding-right in order to hide the scroll-bars.

html, body {
		background-color: #111111;
		width: 100%;
		height: 100%;
		padding: 0;
		margin: 0;
		color: #fff;
		font : 12px Arial,Courier New,Tahoma;
}

.layoutWrapper {
		width: 100%;
		height: 100%;
		display: flex;
}

.layoutHead {
		width: 100%;
		height: 200px;
		background-color: #171616;
		color: #444;
		line-height: 200px;
		font-size: 100px;
		text-align: center;
}

.layoutNav {
		background-color: #333333;
		width: 250px;
		height: 100%;
		overflow: hidden;
}

.layoutNavWrapper {
		width: 250px;
		height: 100%;
    padding-right: 15px; /* added */
		overflow-y: scroll;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul {
		width: 240px;
		padding: 0;
		margin: 0 0 0 5px;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li {
		width: 240px;
		height: 40px;
		line-height: 40px;
		margin: 5px 0 0 0;
		list-style-type: none;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li a {
		color: #e8ecf3;
		background: #212020 url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAYAAACp8Z5+AAAAEklEQVQImWMICAhoYCAK4FQJAH+kAuF/Y9FHAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) repeat;
		text-decoration: none;
		display: block;
		width: 220px;
		height: 40px;	
		padding-left: 20px;
}

.layoutNavWrapper ul li a:hover {
		background: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAAECAYAAACp8Z5+AAAAEklEQVQImWPIzc31ZSAK4FQJAI0YAylSFqZ7AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) repeat;
		-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);

		box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);
}

.layoutContent {
		display: inline-block;
		width: calc(100% - 250px);
		height: 100%;		
}

You can try this to hide the scrollbar.

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

Solution 3

Here is a previous answer: Hide scroll bar, but while still being able to scroll.

To fix yours, I've adapted the above answer thus:

.layoutNav {
		background-color: #333333;
		width: 250px;
		height: 100%;
        overflow: hidden;
}

.layoutNavWrapper {
		width: 250px;
		height: 100%;
		overflow-y: scroll;
        overflow-x: hidden;
        padding-right: 17px; /* Increase/decrease this value for cross-browser compatibility */
}

Here is a working pen.

I can't get my navigation scroll to work without scroll bars.

I found many examples here, but they are not working.

I tired parent class with overflow: hidden; and child class with overflow-y: auto;

Does anybody knows what's wrong in my CSS?

Here is the snippet:

html, body {

		font : 12px Arial,Courier New,Tahoma;
}

.layoutWrapper {
		width: 100%;
		height: 100%;
		display: flex;
			
}

.layoutHead {
		width: 100%;
		height: 200px;
		background-color: #171616;
		color: #444;
		line-height: 200px;

.layoutNavWrapper {
		width: 250px;

.layoutNavWrapper ul {
