hood
A head covering attached to a piece of clothing, such as a jacket or sweater, that can be pulled over the head for protection from wind or rain.
Als es anfing zu regnen, zog sie die Kapuze ihres Mantels auf.
When it started to rain, she put up the hood of her coat.
Typical verbs related to head movement are used with 'Kapuze' (hood). You can 'die Kapuze aufsetzen' (put the hood on), 'die Kapuze absetzen' (take the hood off), or 'die Kapuze über den Kopf ziehen' (pull the hood over your head).
Als der Wind stärker wurde, habe ich meine Kapuze aufgesetzt.
When the wind got stronger, I put my hood up.
'Kapuze' (hood) is the base word for very common items of clothing such as 'Kapuzenpullover' (hooded sweatshirt, often also called a 'hoodie') or 'Kapuzenjacke' (hooded jacket).
An kalten Tagen trage ich am liebsten meinen gemütlichen Kapuzenpullover.
On cold days, I prefer to wear my cozy hoodie.
To describe a piece of clothing that has a hood, the preposition 'mit' (with) is used very often. The structure is: item of clothing + 'mit Kapuze' (with a hood).
Ich suche einen Regenmantel mit abnehmbarer Kapuze.
I'm looking for a raincoat with a detachable hood.

Haube and Kapuze both cover the head. However, a Kapuze is attached to a jacket or another item of clothing. A Haube is a separate, usually soft and close-fitting head covering, for example for babies, certain professions, or traditional costumes.
Das Kind zieht draußen die Kapuze seiner Jacke über den Kopf.
The child pulls the hood of their jacket over their head outside.
Das Baby trägt draußen eine weiche Haube auf dem Kopf.
The baby is wearing a soft cap on its head outdoors.
