I know all that stuff. Did I do it right?

Well, no. Look at your own hair. Because it's not made of a single lump of substance, its highlight against the sun is scattered; and doesn't show up as a single pale blob.
And before you bring up Inazuma Eleven or something; the way they do the hair in that show is fucking stupid.

I have no idea what that show is. I will fix the hair.

I think you know, but don't know how to apply them.
first of all, never use pure white as BG. Use a neutral color (like gray, for example) so you can notice color problems easily.
you have too much colors for a sprite that small, it won't hurt if you cut out some of them. Use a darker outline for the nose and mouth because they're almost invisible.
I did an edit (I cut all the unnecessary colors, fixed some of the jagged lines) because an image tells more than a thousand words.

better than the original, id move the jaw a few pixels back just to give the head more mass, and work on the rest of the sprite.

Moved jaw.

the hair is a mess right now. Try smoothening the lines.

Fix'd.
RE: Im back, and I still can't shade. - 2+D - 07-09-2010
Looking much better now.

a tip when making hair is to think on them like being chunks of hair, not a rigid helmet. They're hella easier when grouped in small pieces instead of grouping all the hair in one shape.

Thanks. But was that a general tip, or does my sprites hair still need to be fixed?
