I don't have children yet but I've been keeping a mental list of how I'm going to take care of my familys' hair someday.
Today I got a new wooden comb in the mail. I showed it to my 2½ and she said, "After my nap, we will rub some oil on it and in my hair and comb my hair because oil makes my hair feel good." I thought it was so cute that she knew we were going to cure the comb and then wanted to do an oil treatment in her hair also.
How has learning about healthy hair influenced the way you care for your children's hair?

I don't have kids either...but apparently my hair care is rubbing off on my boyfriend. The other day he proudly informed me that he was COing his hair too - using his usual
Pantene haha.
My youngest is 25. She loves my hair but hasn't picked up any of my habits. She likes to have hers high-lighted and flat-irons it 3-4 times per week. She keeps the length between shoulder and APL.
It's pretty hair anyway.
My daughter hasn't picked up any of my hair habits yet, however my son has. He asked me the other day if he could have oil in his hair too
Oh my goodness. That's so adorable.

The quote in the OP is so cute!
don't know whether your hair is brown or red? us neither!
hit my length goal of tailbone ... now learning to maintain and aiming to reduce split ends!
Mine is only nine months old, but I do not shampoo his hair any more, he is strictly WO, and gets loads of coconut oil put on his head. His hair just soakes it up.
Before WO, instead of soft curls, he had a fuzzy coarse mess. I hope he sticks with this habit.
I have two boys, so there not way of teaching them about healthy hair. But my youngest has three 1/2 inch hair, and has to be told everyday to comb his hair before school. I think he wants it cut before spring break is over but not 100% on that. My MIL jokes about have a girl for a grandson. But his caves and has it cut. I say if he wants it that bad, he has to learn how to take care if it. I will ask his want he comes bake for my moms if he wants to keep it long and teach he how to keep it healthy.
I don't have kids but I think my sisters count since I live at home and pretty much raise them (both our parents work). There's 10-15 years age difference between us. The 9 year old strait out refuses to comb her hair and had our mom hack it off to ear-length so she wouldn't have to bother even combing it... The 6 year old, however, is much more interested in her hair. She always tells me "I want to grow my hair out to my tippy-toes!" However she got gum stuck in her hair a few weeks ago and without telling an adult went and cut a huge clump out the back of her hair... Now when I braid it there are several short pieces sticking out... I've used olive oil on her hair a few times and it makes it so much shinier and less frizzy and defines her beautiful natural curls, and she loves it. But mom says it makes her hair look greasy.
