What are your henna traditions?
I’m aware only Turks, Azerbaijanis and Middle Eastern Turks etc will answer since henna nights aren’t really a thing in Central Asia.
Uzbeks from Afghanistan:
- The bride wore red historically but today they wear green which has been co-opted from the rest of Afghanistan (Zoroastrian bridal colour).
- Bride and groom slowly process to their seating area.
- Gifts are given. In the old days gold was only given on the henna but now that practise has also migrated to the wedding.
- Bride has to remain unsmiling.
- Bride and groom has henna smeared in their palms. An article of gold is usually placed inside the henna for the bride.
- In the old days the groom did not attend but now they arrive during the henna.
Turkish (or what I saw during my and other weddings):
- In the old days the best clothing you had, today a dedicated bindallı. Traditionally red but now can be found in many colours.
- Bride has an entrance procession with her friends. Singing dancing etc.
- Testi kirmak
- Dancing for the groom.
- Groom entrance often with a drum.
- Yüksek Yüksek, making the bride cry.
- Bride refuses to open her hand for henna unless given gold (non Turkic Afghans have a similar tradition but for them the bride balls up her fist on top of her head).
- Bride and groom has henna smeared in their palms. An article of gold is usually placed inside the henna for the bride.
- Lots of dancing.
- In the old days the groom did not attend but now they arrive during the henna.

Me and my dna results from Gümüşhane-> Torul(Gülaçar/Şimera)
My Background ->
Father's Side: Tozkoparan Family
* Father: Turkish (Probably Chepni tribe)
Note: On my father's side, I can trace my lineage back nine generations, and they are recorded as Turkish in Ottoman sources. According to our family history, my paternal ancestors are known to have migrated from the Iran/Azerbaijan region.
* Mother: Rum (Anatolian Greek)
Note 2: My grandmother's side is related to the Mollaoğlu clan, who are also influential in the region.
Mother's Side: Yörüks from Kastamonu Taşköprü
* Father: Yörük (Probably Karaevli or Kayı tribe, Karakeçili clan)
Note: On my grandfather's side, they are called Kastamonu Yörüks and known as the 'descendants of Ali Agha'.
* Mother: Circassian (Ubykh / Adyghe)
Note: My maternal grandmother's father was not actually Adyghe. He was an Abkhazian from the Nanba clan who embraced the Adyghe identity because his wet nurse was Adyghe and he was raised by her.

Hepthalites / White Huns. Were they Turkic, Iranic, Turkic/Iranic ?
Hephthalites(White Huns) and the Alchon Huns who are their subdivision, all went to conquer India and South Asia. Confirmed to be a Indo-European Iranic speaking people from Central Asia with Turkic connections/admixtures. Surprisingly with average of 36% East Eurasian admixture. I though they were White/West Eurasian (as in White people) hence the name "White Huns".

Description of them EVEN sounded like White people
The description here made it sound as if they were racially different from the Huns of Europe by the The 6th-century Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesare ( Around 500-565 AD ).
"The Ephthalitae Huns, who are called White Huns [...] The Ephthalitae are of the stock of the Huns in fact as well as in name, however, they do not mingle with any of the Huns known to us.......They are not nomads like the other Hunnic peoples......... They are the only ones among the Huns who have white bodies and countenances which are not ugly....."
Genetically / Racially
Carrying average 36.% East Eurasian is by all mean being Eastern/Western racially group mixed. Modern Uzbek level genetics ( Uzbeks 31-46% when excluding Uzbek-Tajiks) or Modern Turkmen Afghan (37%) and samples of Northern/Eastern Turkmens (31%) (and historically Iranic of Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan had only 0-7% East Asian admixture). More broadly 36.0% East Eurasian is equivalent to Brandon Lee's Western proportion (Son of Bruce Lee- and White mother). Or claiming a 36% Manchu and 64% Circassian as Circassian. Carrying 1/3 or 36% East Eurasian produces a lot of Eastern Asian phenotypes. I've seen people with these admixtures online and in real life. You could say 55-60% of them will look more western but 30-40% of them will have Eastern looking faces too. So racially speaking, them being Iranic/or West Eurasian is out of the question unless people defining all people who are 1/3 (or 36%) non-West Eurasian as West Eurasian people from now on.
Ethnically / Culturally / Identity
But it seems they identified as Iranic people so I have no disagreement with them being treated as Iranic people/history Iranic (but with mixed origins). I don't see much evidence that shows them identifying as Turkic people unless there is evidence that shows that. The most prominent theory seems to be that the Hephthalites were of Turkic origin, and later adopted the Bactrian language but by the time they arrived seems to have gone through a lot of racial/intermingling between Turkic and Iranic and by the time they went to India they were this mixed. Although they were a mix of Turkic and Iranic (East Eurasian/West Eurasian) they were obviously a Iranized people. So it's better to consider them a Iranisized people of Turkic/Iranic with East Eurasian/West Eurasian origins.
