"Deadheading", or removing dead heads, would serve no purpose on the common sunflower. They are annual plants, and thus will die at the end of the year, and will not grow any new heads later on. Removing the flower head on a still growing plant may make it taller and live longer, but would also destroy the aesthetic aspects of growing one in the first place.
