don't look at the mirror keep your head and neck straight with torso

You are tilting your head waaayyy too far back - the neck should be parallel with your spine.
Also, you should engage your hams more to reduce the risk of snapcity due to primarily using lower back.

>how do i engage hams?
Doing the deadlift properly will automatically result in engaged hamstrings.
You would want to focus on using your hamstrings at the start of the lift, to assist your back.
From the middle to the top of the lift, hamstrings will not be used as much, but your back will do most of the work.
Perhaps watch this video:

Man I fucking hate that shitty Tumblr speak, it's somehow worse than lolspeak on those stupid fucking cat images from a decade ago.
The form is solid.
I would recommend a haircut though.
Next time, use a weight closer to your 5RM so we can actually see the form breaking down.

Not bad OP, pretty solid desu. As stated:
fix your head, prob never get an injury but you may find your neck will get sore if you keep throwing it around like that.
From the dead position at the start of each rep keep your hams tight, this will help with the whole 'engage' them thing. Cue yourself by thinking drive your feet into the floor, should help keep your ass and hams doing the work.
Seen Candito recommend turning your elbows to point backwards at the start of the rep to engage the lats. Minor thing, but if you notice your elbows are pointing sort of 45° from the bar, if you rotate them like youre trying to bend the bar around your shins so they point away from the bar then should help keep your upper back tight as you progress in weight
