He's typically perfectly groomed and neatly turned out for every occasion but Francois Hollande's hairstyle doesn't come cheap.
France has been mulling over the revelation that the hairdresser responsible for maintaining the head of state's quite ordinary looking head is paid almost 10,000 euros a month.
The presidential barber bill was revealed by the satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaine which also disclosed that the stylist - identified only as Olivier B - travels with Hollande on most of his foreign trips.
This quickly inspired the hashtag #CoiffeurGate, as social media users posted pictures of Hollande with hairstyles that they considered might be more worthy of such a hefty price tag.
