Does hair split only at the ends

No, hair-splitting away from the hair end is called mid-shaft splitting. 

Mid-shaft splitting is a strong sign of significant hair damage to the cortex of your hair that should be further investigated

If you are suffering from mid-shaft splitting, action should be taken to prevent further hair damage, or your hair can drastically shorten etc.
