Why single out Finns? Red hair is incredibly rare in almost all of Europe. Even in Britain only a few percent of people have it. Red hair isn’t an indication of Europeanness or something; probably these populations had some sexual selection or bottlenecking of genes.

Although red hair is rare in Finland, it still exists. Red beard is somewhat more common.

Reddish hair was actually a characteristic of Eickstedt's Fenno-Nordid type (https://www.theapricity.com/earlson/race/nordish.htm):


The third and final type was the _fenno-nordische Unterrasse_ (Fenno-Nordic subrace). This subrace is characterised as having reddish-blond hair, "water-blue eyes" (_wasserblau Augen_), an angular body-build and often, quite broad heads. According to Eickstedt, this type is more common in Eastern, rather than Western Europe, particularly amongst the Finnic tribes, hence its name.

Eickstedt's Fenno-Nordid type was not a classical Nordid type in Coon's sense of a depigmented Mediterranean type, but it was his equivalent of a type like East Baltid, which was characteristic of Baltic Finnic peoples and Volga Finns.

There's even Khanty who have red hair:
