Question about using grunt-header in multiple watch triggers

I have a watch command which when LESS files are updated it automatically compiles and minifies them (and the same with JS).

If I place a header task to be triggered by each, then it will double up the header in each file. I can see two alternatives but neither seems perfect.

duplicate the header into two separate header_js and header_css tasks. Each only updating their respective files.
Only add the header trigger to one of the watch profiles, but it updates all files. Problem here is if I add it to CSS but make a change to JS, then the new .js file will not have the header in it.

Any advice? Thanks.


watch: {
    css: {
        files: ['<%= directory %>assets/css/src/*.less', '<%= directory %>assets/css/src/*/*.less'],
        tasks: ['less','cssmin', 'header']
    },
    js: {
        files: ['<%= directory %>assets/js/*/*.js'],
        tasks: ['concat', 'uglify', 'header'],
    }
}
