What Causes Positive Result For Cocaine Without Using The Drug Ever?

I have recently taken a hair drug test and came up positive for cocaine and phentermine. I expected the phentermine since its prescribe for weight loss. But cocaine was a shock since i never used the drug. My husband is a user and thats the reason im leaving. Please tell me how i came up positive on this hair test since i have never done drugs period.
