I think that people of our ages have not followed the "traditional" things that people used to do at particular ages; there is far less differentiation by age than there used to. There are very few activities that age REALLY matters for, between teens and 40s/50s. (Uptake of bungie jumping and free-fall parachuting REALLY falls off once you understand mortality a bit better!)
To take a silly example, I play video games - so do teenagers. Is that just a leisure activity, or haven't I grown up? Does the question matter? I don't care - I enjoy it, I play differently to a teenager, but my superior strategy can beat kids who might be faster. Tabletopping and LARPs are two other things, that have an increasingly "middle-aged" profile. If it works for you, go for it!
PS - your hair? If it looks good, and it's your style, be happy.
