En inglés, descrubiría alguna como "tan suave como el fondo de bebé". ¿Se dice lo mismo en español tambien?

In English, you could describe something as "smooth as a baby's bottom". Is this said the same in Spanish as well?

You have to use the adjective - which is "suave", not the verb. - Issabela, ENE 20, 2010
"smooth my hair" -- or "straighten" is more common :) - kattya, ENE 20, 2010

Marineros de E.E.U.U. Marina de Guerra se llama "suave" o "swabes" por eso en frances "suave" es sentido "guapo y muscular". ¡Que suave! US Navy sailors are called "suave" or "swabes" because in French it means "handsome and muscular". Fantastic!
