"Dimonium" refers to a quaternary dimethylammonium salt, in this case stearic acid. PG-Hydroxyethylcellulose stearyldimonium chloride is used in cosmetic formulations. The compound acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair) and "combability improving" i.e. it reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface and thus improves combability.
