My sunflowers have grown their second pair of leaves, but like 2 of them have rolled leaves. Why is it like this?

The leaves are rolled like a roll of carpet.

Its water stress due to little or uneven watering. Sunflowers are prone to it and if you see signs on the plant of wilting and then curling leaves you should water everything in the garden.

It is probably like firelily said, water stress. There are 2 other possibilities. Leaf rollers and a change in the weather, for instance wind and humidity levels. but these being young plants probably watering is the culprit.

Watering may help, but in my opinion you should also make sure that there are no pests on your sunflower. Some of my miniature roses leaves were rolled when they were attacked by spider mites:confused:

Only two plants have rolled leaves, and those are the smaller ones. I think the larger ones are using up most of the water.
