Is it normal for long hair to have lots of split ends?

[Note3]

For the first time in years I have long hair. Part of me is happy and the other part has noticed that although I have regular trims I have billions of split ends.

I think my hair is just not suited to this length and breaks too easily but maybe this is normal?

Please advise else I'll just get it chopped for no reason!

Yes Housewife I know everything sold isn't good for you (not read reviews on Wet Brush) but why would it be manufactured if it didn't work?!

I personally find it far nicer than the Tangle Teezer which I find almost rips through wet hair.
