A hard disc drive (HDD) that has improved head stability at low temperatures and a method of supplying current to a head of the HDD. The HDD includes a disc, a tunneling magneto resistance (TuMR) head to read data recorded on the disc having a heating coil, and a current control unit to supply a current corresponding to the ambient temperature surrounding the HDD to the heating coil. The current control unit supplies a current corresponding to the ambient temperature to the heating coil of the head. Since a heating coil is inserted in the TuMR head, an optimum current corresponding to the ambient temperature can be supplied to the heating coil, and thus, the head instability during a reading operation at low temperatures can be prevented.
