Wasn't aware that bow was underpowered in the vanilla version. The only other hood mod that I can think of is the dragonscale hood mod, which recently added a heavy armor version of it, but I doubt you'd want to waste an extra perk for crafting. it's pretty silly to download an entire mod if you're going to use only one part of it. And I only go into third person sometimes. Also, I only wear helmets when confronted with enemies or when roaming dangerous areas. So after explaining all of that, do you think going with the wolf pelt steel helmets is not a bad way to go? If I could find something that works better than those, I'd go with them, but I haven't found them yet (if there even are better alternatives to them). The war mage armor has the hood, but I much prefer the look of steel plate armor and ebony armor. A bit strange I guess, but I don't want my femmes to wear helmets where their faces are totally hidden. The thing is, I give them more leniency because I don't want to use a steel plate helmet or an ebony helmet. A mismatch, but I see it as softer than you. Yeah, for me, those helmets are what I see as "conflicting" with the armors rather than "clashing". Or, you could try looking at the warmage picture in this armor compilation: If you want another option for your armor, you can try this (it's similar to the Ebony armor and requires the same smithing perk):

Maybe there's something on Nexus that you can download for your hood. It looks a bit better on the steel plate armor because of the color, but again, the texture of the hood works against the steel. Imo, the hood clashes with the rest of the ebony set.
