What does polymethyla - I can't spell it - mean?

It's a chemical in my shampoo. =)

No definitions were found for polymethylacrilamidopropyltrimonium chloride.

You spelt it wrong, because google also says:

But theres no definition for that either, lol.

My shampoo has it the way I had it. =/ I think.
