I think it depends on what they test for. I began my contract with a panel that tested for ethanol. At that time I never paid much attention. However, thy know do etg testing so it is a lot more sensitive. Makes things nerve racking. Find a product and stick to it is a good rule of thumb!
Can people list hair products you have found that dont contain alcohol. Shampoo, conditioner, root lift?
If you go way back through this list you will find a list of resources I posted a couple of years ago. Shampoos and conditioners that are not left on are generally ok. Steer clear of any product that contains SD Alcohol 40 or just read the ingredients - the big culprits that drive false positives are hair color and hair sprays. Any thing you might inhale into you =r long beds that will be processed by the liver or kidneys to get out of your body.
Hair color can cause false positives?I didn't know that. Where did you find that information?
I color my hair every 6-8 weeks & have been doing so for many years, including the time I was under contract with HPRP. I never had a false positive on any tests so I'm not sure this is really accurate information.

What sucks is that I don't think there is much in the way of accurate information. There just haven't been many studies done on EtG testing. The 82-hour window is essentially based off a single study where most of the participants stopped testing positive well before 82 hours and a few of the participants tested positive *after* the 82 hour window. Otherwise, it's a scattering of reports and case studies on false-positives that were attributed to XYZ element but who knows?
