Use groundspeed mini and the auto-thrust - they have been designed and developed to deal with this sort of thing, and they do so very well.
Don't be alarmed if the engines spool up with a headwind gust, they won't increase your groundspeed, and won't destabilise your landing.
I think his q was about crosswind, not HW.
